In the village of Kobolchyn, Chernivtsi region, the implementation of a major project is beginning – the construction of a juice production plant named "Interjus Bukovyna".

This was announced by Oleksii Boiko, the head of the Chernivtsi Regional Council.

The plant will be built within an industrial park covering almost 12 hectares in the Sokyryany community.

The infrastructure will include storage facilities, cleaning and drying installations, administrative buildings, and access roads. The entire process is coordinated by the initiative campaign "Fruit Industry".

According to Boiko, the new facility will be able to process up to 1,500 tons of fruit raw materials daily. The main product will be concentrated apple juice, along with juices made from local berries such as raspberries, cherries, sweet cherries, plums, and more.

The raw materials for production are planned to be sourced primarily from farms in the Chernivtsi region and neighboring areas.

In addition to the main products, the plant will also produce biogas derived from fruit processing, which is intended for heating local buildings.

The production launch is scheduled for the end of 2025, with preparatory work currently underway.

The project is expected to create approximately 150 jobs.

According to Youcontrol data, the beneficiary of "Interjus Bukovyna" is Serhiy Tigipko, who is also a beneficiary of LLC "Fruit Industry" alongside Alla Zinevych.
