SigmaBleyzer , a private equity company and the GP for SigmaBleyzer fund IV, has invested over eighty five million euro’s to date in the agriculture sector in Ukraine. Harmelia Investments Ltd. was established in January 2010 and has made investments in Ukrainian agriculture businesses, initially focusing on the production of agricultural commodities such as grains and oilseeds. Over the past two years, Harmelia has acquired farming and storage operations in the Kharkiv and Poltava regions- well known for their rich black soils and excellent climatic conditions. With leasehold rights for over seventy thousand hectares of some of the best agricultural land in the world, Harmelia has grown into one of the largest agricultural crop producing companies in Ukraine. By growing organically from its current base of operations, Harmelia is well-positioned to expand to over one hundred ten thousand hectares and triple its storage capacity to over five hundred forty thousand tons over the next five years. Harmelia has applied advanced farming technology and implemented modern financial and management practices to improve efficiencies and to achieve excellent profitability. The group’s main activity is the production of agricultural commodity crops such as wheat, barley, corn, sunflower, soy and legumes. A co-investment vehicle has been launched to allow prospective e investors to invest in Ukrainian agriculture alongside Harmelia Investments Ltd, an SBF IV portfolio company. The co-investment vehicle would allow investors to participate in Harmelia’s success while accelerating the company’s growth and take advantage of investment opportunities in expansion and vertical and horizontal integration of the business. The size of the co-investment vehicle is highly scalable, supported by strong deal flow. This vehicle will expand existing clusters in adjacent regions, followed by replication of the strategy in other Ukrainian regions. Additional investment will be directe4d into new business lines such as vegetable production, controlled atmosphere storage for fruits and vegetables, dairy and beef framing, animal feed production, grain trading, as well as further expansion of existing seed and logistics businesses. Building on the successful existing platform, new investments will significantly enhance Harmelia’s value at exit.
