Best Employers 2019 have been Awarded in Mykolaiv region. NIBULON Won under Three Categories.
NIBULON’s central office is located in Mykolaiv city, which is a regional centre of the southern part of Ukraine. The region is considered to be an agrarian one. According to the historical documents, at the end of the 19th century this regionwas among leaders in grain production. In addition, Mykolaiv is an important sea transport hub.
On April 10, 1862, the State Council adopted a resolution to open Mykolayiv Commercial Port and to set up the customs office. Mykolaiv has become an important grain export centre. In the 80s, the average annual volume of grain for export from MykolayivPort was more than 23 million poods of grain (a "pood" is a Russian measure of weight; 1 pood equals to 16 kg). In 1893, a grain elevator was built in Mykolaiv Commercial Port. The grain and bread products were among the basic productsexported from Mykolaiv region. The grain export infrastructure was gradually developed, involving more people in grain trading. Wheat exports in 1905 and 1910 comprised 50 million poods.
The formation of the Soviet Union and the planned economy interrupted the trends already formed in grain trading. The region managed to keep its importance in the domestic grain production after 1917. After the Second World War,the volumes of grain, grown in Ukraine, including in Mykolaiv region, played an important role in satisfying the aggregate demand for grain crops in the Soviet Union territory.
In 1990, Ukraine confirmed its considerable potential in grain production, having achieved a gross yield of more than 51 million tons of grain at the crop yield of 3.51 tons per hectare. The gross yield of grain crops comprised more than 2.7 milliontons at the crop yield of 3.54 tons per hectare in Mykolayiv region. According to many experts, the potential of grain production considerably exceeds a gross yield of grain crops achieved in 1990.
Since it was established, NIBULONhas been gone through all stages of the Ukrainian development, changes in the economic and political situation as well as in the legislation, having showed its capability to survive and to develop stably.
| 1991 |
- Ukraine obtains the status of an independent state. The period of transition to market economy begins. Political and legislative changes enable to develop entrepreneurship, including agribusiness. However, the transition problemsaffected agriculture: the low supply of agricultural machinery, the lack of fuel, seed grain and plant protection agents. The crisis caused a decrease in the crop capacity and gross yield of major crops. In 1991, Ukraine harvested38.674 million tons of grain at the crop capacity of 2.65 tons per hectare, which was by 24% less than in 1990. Only efficient and competitive agricultural entities manage to survive in the economic crisis and gradual decreasein the governmental support. - NIBULON Joint Ukrainian-Hungarian-English Agricultural Venture (NIBULON AJV) is established. Together with the General Director O.O.Vadaturskyy, a Hungarian company "KOMBISEED KFT" and English company "Meridian CommoditiesLtd." become the company’s co-founders. The company’s name "NIBULON" consists of the first letters of the founders’ cities: NIkolaev, BUdapest, LONdon.

In particular, a lot of solvent-extraction plants are on theverge of stoppage. Most traders export sunflower seeds in this period. Unlike these exporters, NIBULON AJV exports sunflower oil and meal mostly, thereby providing work to several solvent-extraction plants and increasing the shareof processed commodities in the structure of Ukrainian exports. NIBULON AJV performs up to 28% of the sunflower oil exports and up to 30% of the meal exports from Ukraine. |
