A port plant for processing vegetable oils to be built in Bulgaria.
On the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, in the southern industrial zone of Burgas, ATLANTIC AGRO BG intends to create an innovative hub for processing vegetable oils.
According to representatives of the company, which has been listed in the Commercial Register of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for two years, the plant’s processing capacity will be more than one mln tonnes of raw materials per year. The main raw material will be unrefined sunflower oil. The plant will be able to receive raw materials by sea and road.
The finished refined product will be immersed in flexitanks and shipped in containers primarily to customers in the Global South. The ATLANTIC AGRO Group has chosen BMF Port Burgas as its strategic partner to complete a major infrastructure project related to the expansion of the container terminal in 2025.
In addition, ATLANTIC AGRO will produce a number of by-products, including about 10 thsd tonnes of food-grade dry powdered lecithin per year. The company intends to start implementing the ambitious project in the fourth quarter of 2024 and put the plant into operation around the first quarter of 2026.
The ATLANTIC AGRO business group has a long and successful history dating back to 2003.
The group includes companies from America, Asia, Europe, Bulgaria and Ukraine.
ATLANTIC AGRO Group believes that the project’s location in Bulgaria, a member of the European Union and NATO, in the city of Burgas, will optimize the logistics component of the business and create a leader in crude oil processing on the Black Sea coast.
