We had the honor of meeting Taras Vysotskyi, Acting Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, at a partnership event for agribusiness market participants, organized by NIBULON at its Voznesenska branch.
The event brought together the entire vertical of market players, from small and medium-sized producers to the legislative authorities, to discuss plans and tasks for the current marketing year and to summarize the season’s results.
“I want to thank our agrarians, who, despite numerous challenges and sometimes life-threatening conditions, continue to work, sow, and harvest crops, ensuring both domestic and global food security. This strengthens the agricultural sector and our economy. Currently, there are several government programs to support the agricultural sector. In the Government, we are working on new assistance programs for agrarians, attracting additional funding from international partners. The main task is to support agricultural producers in de-occupied, front-line, and active combat areas,” emphasized Taras Vysotskyi.
Over 40 farm enterprises from the southern region were invited to the event to communicate with the leading producers of agricultural machinery, equipment, and seeds, and to find common ground for future cooperation. The agricultural producers also had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with sustainable production practices presented by Oleg Veselov, Director of Agricultural Production at NIBULON.
“The key principle of agricultural production in our company is frugality with a smart approach to farming. We can clearly state that, with modern approaches, it is possible to achieve profitability of agricultural production even during the war. To increase direct profitability, the company, with the support of partners, has invested €16.8 million in the modernization of agricultural production, which allows us to increase efficiency and reduce costs,” said Oleg Veselov.
NIBULON, proud of its cooperation with more than 2,660 agricultural producers, continues to feed the world together with them despite the circumstances. In the 2023/24 marketing year, export volume reached 3.236 million tons of grain shipped to 20 countries worldwide.
“Today, Ukrainian agricultural producers work in extremely difficult conditions of war and suffer from numerous problems, which as a result can pose a threat to global food security. By playing with them on the same team, we do everything we can to help our agrarian partners maximize their income and receive a fair price for their products.
To this end, we have invested $2.2 million in digitalization; we are creating a trade analytics center for better risk management. In addition, to ensure the safety of grain storage, as well as the quality and accuracy of research, we have invested $10.8 million in the modernization of our network of elevators and laboratory complexes.”
