"KYIV....The Dnipropetrovsk Confectionery Plant is planning this year to increase output by 40% to 32,000 t compared to last year according to Chair of the Board Liudmila Mussarova. She added that the increase in production will necessitate a transition to a 3-shift daily operation and that, currently, the plant's candy, biscuit, caramel and several chocolate lines are operating at 100% capacity."

"Besides that, the increase in demand for the plant's capacity has stimulated the increase in production. 'We maintained our position on the market thanks to the fact that we never used preservatives, surrogates and stabilizers. We use only natural products, which attracts consumers to our products,' affirmed Mussarova. The plant also has plans to undertake re-equipping of technical lines by re-investing profits."
