In the interview, Vadaturskyy discusses his father’s legacy in developing Ukraine’s agricultural and shipping infrastructure, and how his death by a Russian missile strike has deeply impacted the company and the people of Mykolaiv. Vadaturskyy also describes the serious disruptions NIBULON has experienced because of the war. The company has fixed assets that trapped in occupied territories worth around $92 million, and there has been a significant drop in exports due to inaccessible routes and blockades of their fleet. Vadaturskyy explains how NIBULON is actively implementing measures to address these challenges, including the construction of a new terminal in Izmail. The terminal will reduce NIBULON’s dependence on the Black Sea grain corridor and help guarantee export capacity. He explains that such investments are critical in ensuring the survival of Ukraine’s agricultural sector – which will be a key driver of the country’s economic reconstruction. The interview concludes with recognition of the Ukrainian people’s resilience in the face of unimaginable tragedy and suffering. Vadaturskyy emphasises NIBULON’s determination to continuing its employees, farmers, and traders and playing its vital role in Ukraine’s economy and global food security.
