Funding objective

Why we fund this project

The acquisition will potentially help to unlock Chumak’s full potential in the domestic market by increasing Chumak’s market share in Ukraine and help to expand Chumak’s distribution to foreign markets, thereby generating more local tax revenues and jobs in an area with high unemployment rates.
