In Ukraine, NCH Capital has built a successful agribusiness under the Agroprosperis brand, which cultivates 300,000 hectares of land and exports more than 3 million tons of crops annually.
To support and develop Ukrainian agricultural sectore, NCH Capital established Agroprosperis Bank in 2015, focusing on financinges small and medium-sized agricultural producers – a segment previously overlooked by banks due to a lack of collateral or credit history.
