The modern machinery will renovate farm fleet at “Snigurivs’ka” and “Lidiyivs’ke” branches (Mykolayiv region), “Chudnivs’ka” and “Bystryts’ka” branches (Zhytomyr region), “Kamyanets’-Podil’s’ka” branch (Khmelnytskyy region), “Chygyryn” branch (Cherkasy region), “Bilovods’ka” branch (Lugansk region) and will harvest late grain crops, thereby speeding up harvesting campaign.
“There comes a time when technologies must be updated and when we need changes. Today NIBULON is actively investing in the agriculture development”, mentioned NIBULON’s Deputy General Director of Agriculture Production Kostyantyn Khmelnytskyy.
The renovation of machinery guarantees efficiency of technological operations, thereby increasing qualitative and quantitative indices of products grown. This is one of the main strategic tasks to develop agricultural production at NIBULON. Thus, despite the difficult economic situation, NIBULON keeps investing in agricultural machinery fleet renovation. This year, NIBULON has invested about USD 7 million. Thus, in addition to eight Fendt tractors, the company purchased 10 modern John Deer and Case grain harvesters in summer.
Kostyantyn Khmelnytskyy mentioned that NIBULON had created 36 new workplaces for highly-skilled machine operators. He was sure that this machinery would enable the company to increase labour efficiency. This year, “Snigurivs’ka” branch demonstrates impressive results. It has already harvested about 22 thousand tons of grain. This is about 7 % of the total croppage planned.
Director of “Snigurivs’ka” branch “Volodymyr Berdyk said, “I can say with confidence that this year we have harvested a record yield. It is our common victory! Machine operators should care about their tractors because they guarantee welfare for their families”.
“We are familiar with high-capacity machinery in practice”, added Oleksandr Basanchuk, deputy head at the branch. “New grain harvesters have assisted us to complete harvesting of winter barley very quickly. These tractors will enable NIBULON to prepare areas under crops efficiently”.
The Regional Production Director Oleksandr Tereshenko congratulated machine operators, “We thank NIBULON’s General Director Oleksiy Vadaturskyy for these new tractors. I am sure that our results will be improved in future”.
NIBULON as a socially responsible company aims not only to achieve high results but also to improve labour conditions for its employees. According to NIBULON’s head of lease relations department Nadiya Bodnar, due to new machinery, the machine operators will have comfortable working conditions; thus, the efficiency will be improved. “I am sure NIBULON will invest more to purchase new machinery in future”. I hope our country will support NIBULON’s initiative to develop agriculture and Ukrainian villages. “Snigurivs’ka” branch has been operating for 20 years in Snigurivka district. About 700 people lease land to NIBULON. The company always fulfils its duties and increases lease payment during these years. Today we can see investments in the agriculture”.
Acting Head of Snigurivka District Council Tetyana Mezina congratulated NIBULON and wished the company large production volumes, “I want to thank NIBULON’s management and Hero of Ukraine Oleksiy Vadaturskyy for creating new workplaces. We are fruitfully cooperating with NIBULON that supports our community. The company always helps the district to solve urgent social problems. We sincerely thank you!”

The tractors purchased by NIBULON are leaders in Fendt family, symbolizing innovation and reliability. Eight Fendt 936 Vario tractors (Profi packaging) were supplied directly from AGCO factory in Marktoberdorf (Germany). In its 25-year history, American AGCO has achieved leadership in implementing modern technologies in the agrarian industry. Fendt 936 main advantages are high capacity, minimum fuel consumption at maximum capacity. The tractor can use alternative fuel (for example, biodiesel). Its progressive engine is adapted to the Ukrainian conditions – the producers reduced the engine’s sensitivity to domestic fuel quality. Fendt 936 has the largest cab among standard tractors and ensures the highest comfort: first-class noise insulation, tinting on the front and side windows, air suspension driver seat, GPS and climate control, illumination all around the tractor (360°); the tractor’s systems are controlled by a joystick and multifunctional armrest; the display ensures access to the all required information.
Fendt 936 Vario tractors, which capacity is half as much as the capacity of Fendt models existed at NIBULON, will enable the company to carry out presowing soil cultivation efficiently.
