  • EBRD covers 60 per cent of risk on UKRSIBBANK’s US$ 17 million loan to YEDNIST' GROUP
  • Funding supports production of feed and distribution of pet food and veterinary products
  • YEDNIST' GROUP ranks among Ukraine’s top producers of animal compound feed and premixes

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is partnering with UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group to support YEDNIST' GROUP, a leading Ukrainian feed producer and supplier of comprehensive solutions for livestock farming.

Under a risk-sharing agreement between the two institutions, the EBRD will cover up to 60 per cent (US$ 10.2 million) of the risk on UKRSIBBANK’s US$ 17 million loan to YEDNIST' GROUP. The financing will help the agri leader maintain production of compound feed and premixes, as well as pet food and veterinary distribution, and expand domestic and export sales during a period of heightened economic uncertainty.

YEDNIST' GROUP ranks among Ukraine’s top producers of animal compound feed and premixes. The Group also provides integrated feeding and veterinary solutions and distributes imported pet food and veterinary products. In 2025, YEDNIST' GROUP successfully implemented an investment project focused on grain processing into flour and cereals at the facilities of the new YEDNIST' FOOD grain processing complex.

This transaction demonstrates the EBRD’s commitment to supporting Ukraine’s private sector in wartime, helping businesses remain competitive and inclusive while contributing to the country’s economic recovery.

The EBRD has substantially increased its investments in Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale war there in 2022, deploying more than €9 billion to support energy security, vital infrastructure, food security, trade and the private sector.
