“The transfer will be done so that my name is not mentioned among Roshen’s owners,” Poroshenko added.
One of the world’s main confectionery producers, Roshen Corporation annually turns out around 450,000 tons of chocolate and jelly sweets, caramel, chocolate, biscuits, waffles, and cakes.
Roshen has factories in Ukraine, Lithuania, Hungary and Russia.
During his presidential campaign in 2014 Petro Poroshenko promised that, if elected, he would sell the Roshen Company, which remains his largest business asset.
