According to the organizers, the first visit to NIBULON’s facilities has left a lot of positive impressions on them. Therefore, they have been familiarizing French agrarians and experts with the leader of Ukraine’s grain market for about 10 years, each time opening something new for themselves.
The French guests started their visit with the acquaintance with the facilities and peculiarities of NIBULON’s transshipment terminal in Mykolaiv, as well as with the whole range of analyses carried out according to both national and international standards. The analyses are carried out on modern equipment by the qualified specialists of the terminal’s production and technological laboratory.
“In France, you sometimes can see a warning that grain in Ukraine is harvested inappropriately or it doesn’t meet the norms, etc. What I have seen today proves quite the opposite – everything is in line with the European norms and requirements here. In addition, we have never seen such a complete laboratory, where different types of analyses are carried out at once”, said one of the French visitors.
Due to the fact that NIBULON redirects actively its cargoes to water transport, which is an integral and important component of the company’s unique logistics, the French farmers were familiarized with the company’s shipbuilding yard. The major part of NIBULON’s fleet, which numbers 74 vessels, was built there. During the excursion, the guests noted the modernization and equipment of the shipyard with high-capacity devices from the world’s leading manufacturers, as well as the scale of NIBULON MAX (140 m long vessel) which is being built on the building berth.
“Having seen the shipyard’s workload, we understand that it keeps everything connected with the load, agriculture and river fleet. We have satisfied ourselves that the leading agricultural producer of Ukraine – NIBULON – is following not only national tendencies, but also global ones. You are an example of the fact that the county is investing in agriculture and it is prestigious to work in this field, while in France this sector is put on the back burner”, summed up the foreign guests.
At the end of their visit, the organizers of the business tour and its participants from France thanked the company’s management and specialists for the usual hospitality and new experience.
