The company's top management, the branches' directors and the heads of the structural divisions took part in the meeting. In addition, Gert Bosscher, an advisory board member, attended the meeting and his two colleagues, Gilles Mettetal and Ton Huls, joined the meeting online. The main goal was to sum up NIBULON's multi-aspect activities during the most challenging year as well as to discuss plans and prospects. During his speech, Andriy Vadaturskyy stressed that from the first days of the war we have made every effort not only to ensure that the company conducts its activities but also to provide social protection to its employees. This year has become the most difficult for NIBULON's agrarians. Considering that seven agricultural branches in the southern and eastern regions are in temporary occupation, the company's land bank has decreased. Thus, the company's winter sown areas were reduced by more than 12.0 thousand ha. The company didn't have any opportunity to sow spring crops on the area of 14.0 thousand ha. The rest of NIBULON's production branches worked in the absence of part of its employees and machinery, the rapid increase of prices, difficulties with purchases and the delivery of fuel, as well as the reduction of working time because of the commandant hour and, accordingly, production in the field. “The agrarians managed to grow crops on the area of about 51.0 thousand ha, out of which 21.0 thousand ha – winter crops, 27.0 thousand ha – spring crops, and 3.0 thousand ha – fodder crops. A gross yield is expected to be about 160 thousand tons of grain”, summed up Kostiantyn Khmelnytskyi, Deputy CEO of Agriculture. He also mentioned that the company's branches which are engaged in livestock breeding managed to keep livestock population and a milk yield. The production facilities continue to produce sausage and meat products. Deputy CEO on Trading, Volodymyr Slavinskyy, reported on trading results. He noted that NIBULON managed to achieve the record storage volumes (5.6 million tons) and the record turnover of the elevators' network (2.77 turnovers). “Since the war started, the company has experienced a negative impact caused by the occupation of territories, where NIBULON has traditionally had a high market share, and a considerable reduction of competitiveness of the company's river elevators, which is caused by the inability to navigate by inland waterways. The company has taken efficient measures to adapt its trading activity to the existing conditions and to gradually increase a market share to the normal levels. In particular, this was facilitated by the Bessarabska branch construction, which has become an important transport hub. The company was able to increase export volumes to the EU countries, as this direction was the logistically attractive in the current conditions. At present the company is taking measures to return to the Asian markets, thereby making the trading activity more flexible and profitable.”As it is impossible to actively use its own fleet on the Southern Bug and the Dnipro, NIBULON plans to develop water transportation along the Danube and will study possibilities for transshipping grain in the outer roads in the region, using an experience obtained during the grain transshipment in the outer roads of Mykolaiv Port. In addition, the company plans to develop transportation by railway and to increase the number of hoppers and diesel locomotive fleet, which was reported by Serhiy Kalkutin, Deputy CEO of Logistics.The company was able to gradually stabilize its work by moving forward with confidence and searching for rational decisions. In its best traditions of doing business transparently, NIBULON is conducting an open dialogue with all its creditors. According to Olha Babanina, NIBULON's Chief Accountant, the company plans to transit to a higher level of budgeting and control next year. The current year has been full of obstacles and new challenges that strengthened the company's team. Having analysed NIBULON's activities and outlined the prospects for next year, the company continues to work for the benefit of Ukraine.
