The administrative center of the region is the city of Odesa - one of the largest cities of Ukraine, an important transport, industrial, scientific, cultural and resort center.

Odesa region - is more than 30% of Ukraine's juice production, it is 25% of the country's oil production capacity and 18% of unrefined oil production, it is more than 70% of the country's winemaking potential.

Due to the risks associated with military actions, foreign investors are not ready to consider new projects in Ukraine. In this context, Odesa was not an exception: the military aggression of the russian federation put a pause on the implementation of a number of projects in the field of transport, logistics, processing industry and renewable energy.
