After the full-scale invasion began, the berry cultivation enterprise moved from Kharkiv region to Malynska community in Zhytomyr region. Currently, they grow strawberries there and are establishing a raspberry plantation.
An entrepreneur from the Kharkiv region, Oleksandr Slastin, has been engaged in berry cultivation for over 25 years. In April 2022, due to the full-scale invasion, he relocated his business to the Zhytomyr region and founded the Malyn Plant enterprise.
