The Chornomorsk Salt Plant in the Odesa region, after several months of delay, has begun full-scale production of food-grade salt and announced its readiness to supply about 50<\/strong>% of domestic demand for this product.<\/p>\n

The launch and current operating mode of the enterprise was reported by the company’s CEO Vitaliy Rudenko in a comment to RBC-Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the head, since mid-May the plant has been producing salt of various fractions and packaging formats, and all technological lines are operating in normal mode.<\/p>\n

“Since mid-May we have started producing products on the main line. It can be said that all of the plant’s capacities are now up and running. Production is entering a cycle of continuous operation,” said Vitaliy Rudenko.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The declared production capacity is up to 15<\/strong> thousand tonnes of salt per month, which, according to the company, allows covering approximately 50<\/strong>% of domestic market needs.<\/p>\n

Specialists from the state enterprise “Artemsil”, which halted operations after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, participated in the launch and adjustment of processes at the site; in particular, the chief engineer of that state enterprise joined the team.<\/p>\n

Further plans include extracting salt from the Kuyalnyk estuary in the Odesa region, which is expected to enable production of up to 200<\/strong> thousand tonnes per year and fully meet Ukraine’s demand for food salt.<\/p>\n

Construction of the new enterprise started in 2024<\/strong>, and production was initially planned to begin in January 2026<\/strong>, but the launch was postponed due to severe frosts, power outages and a shortage of specialized personnel.<\/p>\n
