According to Yakiv Pinchuk, a head of NIBULON’s production department, all farm operations are performed normally and according to schedule due to favourable weather conditions.
Thus, the company is tilling (cultivating) soil now. As of April 22, the agrarians performed works on the area of 39 thousand ha out of 50 thousand ha of planned sowing.
Upon cultivation completion, NIBULON’s agrarians start sowing. They have already sown 30% of the total area (50 thousand ha). In particular, the agrarians have sown corn on the area of 10 thousand ha out of 21 thousand ha planned, sunflower – on the area of 5 thousand ha out of 15 thousand ha planned, and spring barley – on the area of 1 thousand ha.
All NIBULON’s production branches have started the sowing campaign. Although sowing has been started recently, the company has its first leaders. “Romanivs’ka” branch (Zhytomyr region) has already sown more than 100% of sunflower. “Sukhorabivs’ka” branch is a leader in corn sowing in Poltava region.
NIBULON will soon start sowing sorghum and soybean. The company plans to sow these crops on the areas of 6 thousand ha and 4.7 thousand ha, respectively.
NIBULON’s agrarians have finished examining winter barley, winter rapeseed, and winter wheat. The majority of crops (more than 28 thousand ha) are in good condition.
NIBULON is also conducting chemical cultivation to sow sunflower and corn. The company is performing chemical protection of winter wheat and winter barley.
