In 2024, Ukraine significantly increased the production and export of primary kaolin – a valuable mineral widely used in industry, ceramics production, medicine, cosmetology, and the food sector. The Esan Group, part of the international corporation Eczacıbaşı Group, extracted 60,000 tons of this raw material.

Expansion of Ukrainian kaolin exports

Over 70% of the extracted kaolin was exported abroad, primarily to Turkey, Spain, and Italy. Export volumes are rising: while in 2023 Ukraine exported only 2,000 tons of this mineral, by 2024 this figure increased to 43,000 tons. The total value of last year’s primary kaolin exports is estimated at 2.7 million euros.

Extraction at the Viknynske deposit

The extraction of primary kaolin is carried out by the company “Sermin,” which is part of the Esan Group. Operations are underway at the Viknynske deposit in the Kirovohrad region. Significant reserves of kaolin are concentrated here, amounting to 33 million tons in categories B+C1.

“Sermin” from the Esan Group is extracting primary kaolin at the Viknynske deposit in the Kirovohrad region. This mineral is used, among other things, for the production of ceramic products, as well as for the manufacturing of rubber, plastics, artificial leather, and fabrics.

Primary kaolin from Ukraine remains a sought-after resource for global manufacturers of ceramics, rubber, plastics, and other industrial sectors, highlighting the strategic importance of this mineral for the country’s economy.
