Nestle said the final plan for the factory upgrade was approved at the beginning of this year and it estimates the upgrade of the facility will be completed by 2021.
Almost half of the volume produced today at the factory is exported to the EU and further afield.
The Kharkiv facility produces prepared foods such as mashed potato and noodle-based soups for Nestle’s Mivina brand.
