Dear friends, we need your help!

At the crack of the morning on October 21, a devastating fire ripped through our Dream Project, the state-of-the-art cold storage and a processing facility for Ukrainian garlic under the Agro-Patriot brand. The fire started suspiciously strongly and quickly spread to the whole area of 32 000 sq. feet. Many people came together, trying to stop the raging flames. The local fire brigade and our staff courageously fought the fire, but it was too strong to quench. It took only an hour to lose everything we build in 10 years.

Disasters seem to always happen to other guys.

Now we are those other guys.

Mrs. Natalia Sudarkina, the founder and the mother of three wonderful kids, launched this project in 2008 and was a driving force behind the vision — delivering high quality strong Ukrainian garlic to the world. Within years she and her partner were preparing the soil, installing irrigation, bringing processing machines from all over the world to make a quality product. It took enormous effort to raise the company like one brings up a child. All of that had engulfed in flames and reported as a total loss.

We employ 17 permanent staff, and more than 50 seasonal workers. Thank God, every one of them was able to get out unharmed, and no one is injured or lost.

Also, we lost all of the crops from this year — more than 300 tons of high-quality garlic that was contracted to be shipped to other countries. The fire also destroyed over 150 tons of garlic that belonged to local farmers, whom we serviced with our cold storage facility. All of the crops are lost, and that means no money to continue farming. That means — bankruptcy. And we are facing the possible loss of the most important: our dear customers.

Still, we are strong, and we have faith in the generous people of the world!

We are launching this website to collect contributions from dear friends, partners, and neighbors, most of whom have never met each other. The funds will be used to cover immediate expenses and the compensation to small farmers who lost their garlic in that horrible fire. Your help will assist in resurrecting Agro Patriot and its outstanding product that disappeared in flames.

This project will provide jobs, restore the export of a high-quality garlic to food chains and restaurants and will help supporting people in a local neighborhood. It will take 6-8 months to complete this project and its payback period will be over 4 years.

In year 5, we will create a Foundation to support Ukrainian entrepreneurs and invest all funds we receive as donations into it. The priority of the Foundation will be given to environmentally sustainable projects and business projects of young entrepreneurs, woman and men with big ideas that can make changes in our country.
