The largest chicken exporter in Ukraine has received a $250M loan from the DFC.

The US International Development Finance Corporation granted the Ukrainian agricultural holding MHP a loan to refinance existing debt, support the company’s current operations, and reimburse war-related expenses.

The DFC noted that the loan will also help the company modernize facilities, including increased storage capacity, the installation of a backup power supply, and developing export potential by strengthening its ability to transport goods.

Over the past year, the DFC concluded new deals in Ukraine worth $425M in various sectors and across all areas of its activity, including equity investments, political risk insurance, debt financing, and technical assistance. The DFC also insured political risks for the Superhumans Reconstructive Surgery Center in Lviv.

In cooperation with USAID, a guarantee was provided for new small and medium-sized business credit portfolios for Lviv Bank ($20M) and Raiffeisen Bank ($40M), as well as a guarantee of $50M for the IFC Global Trade Financing Program in Ukraine.
