Ukrainian farm Nuts'N'Garden has successfully tested its hazelnut drying process, allowing them to enter both the Ukrainian and international markets and create value-added products. The farm acquired a hazelnut dryer with the help of the Organic Initiative public union and the Rural Women’s Business Network. The founder of the farm, Nina Smirnova, emphasized the importance of processing equipment in order to access markets and called for the establishment of regional processing facilities in Ukraine, similar to those in Georgia and Italy.
