Baltska

About us

The Balta city territorial community of Odesa Oblast is one of the most dynamic and promising communities in the region. Established over 9 years ago, our community was among the first in Ukraine to actively support the decentralization reform. This paved the way for attracting investment and infrastructure development.

The community unites the center - the city of Balta with its unique historical past and a number of adjacent rural settlements (33 in total), which creates opportunities for economic development. The community's territory extends over a large area. And most importantly, the community has people united by a common interest in living and working on their land, which forms the basis for a strong labor market.

Geographical location and logistical advantages

Three roads of national importance and a branch of the Odesa railway pass through the community. The total length of all roads is 520 km. This provides quick access to international markets and infrastructure, making the community attractive to investors seeking efficient growth and expansion.

There are 230 companies and 1417 individual entrepreneurs operating in the community. There are 3 companies engaged in foreign economic activity. The main sector of the economy is agriculture. The light and food industries are also developed. Recently, the machine-building industry has been developing.

Information about natural resources
