Ukraine’s State Property Fund (SPF) has announced the sale of 99.5667% of JSC Odesa Port-Side Plant (Pivdenne, Odesa region) through an online auction on ProZorro.Sale on November 25, 2025, with a starting price of UAH 4.5 billion. This marks a significant step in Ukraine’s broader privatization strategy, aimed at modernizing state-owned enterprises and attracting foreign capital.
The Odesa Port-Side Plant, located in the Pivdenne district of Odesa, is a key industrial site in Ukraine’s Black Sea region. The sale is expected to generate substantial revenue for the state, which could be reinvested in infrastructure and public services. The ProZorro.Sale platform, known for its transparent and competitive bidding process, will ensure that the auction remains open to all qualified bidders, both domestic and international.
Analysts suggest that this move could also signal Ukraine’s intent to reduce its reliance on state-owned enterprises and promote private sector growth. The auction is anticipated to draw interest from both regional and international investors, particularly those looking to expand their presence in Ukraine’s energy and industrial sectors.
