Cherkasy entrepreneurs, investors, representatives of international institutions, and others participated in Cherkasy Investment Forum-2015.
The head of Cherkasy Regional State Administration Yuriy Tkachenko opened the forum. He explained the advantages of investing in the region. Since he headed Cherkasy region, Yuriy Tkachenko has been implementing a new policy of cooperation with investors.
“Our main principle is to make an investor feel like he is at the resort: to spend money while relaxing”, stressed Yuriy Tkachenko. The reforms, initiated by the Ukrainian President, are being implemented at the state level. We are implementing local reforms as well, facilitating bureaucratic procedures”.
The Vice-Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Georgi Baramidze who participated in the investment forum, also praised business policy carried out by the head of Cherkasy Regional State Administration. Telling about reforms in Georgia, the high-ranking official noted, “Cherkasy region makes such confident steps to improve investment attractiveness, and I believe the entire Ukraine will succeed”.
There were presented projects to develop Chygyryn, Uman and Kaniv regions. According to the organizers, they invited people who were really ready to work. Several powerful investors have already announced their new projects.
Thus, NIBULON continues investing in Cherkasy region. Oleksiy Vadaturskyy informed about it during the forum as part of the panel discussion “Region Development Prospects. View of business leaders in Cherkasy region”.
“We will be working and investing. NIBULON plans to construct a high-capacity elevator in Uman region of USD 15 million. The elevator will take up to 200 thousand tons of grain crops per year. It will serve three regions. The complex will be constructed within several months, and there will be no need to worry where to store grain. Agricultural producers will be able to store it at NIBULON at favourable price”, informed Oleksiy Vadaturskyy.
He added, “This event is for the benefit. People have hope that everything will be better. Investments will enhance people’s mood. This will attract foreign investors who are beware of the war and do not invest money in the region.
I call on foreign investors not to wait till I write my memoirs about obstacles NIBULON had faced, because it will be too late for you to come, as we will improve Ukraine ourselves. We are strong people. The more obstacles are created the more we overcome. Despite any obstacles, we will build rich Ukraine”.
The head of Cherkasy Regional State Administration Yuriy Tkachenko was glad to hear of new investments from NIBULON.
He mentioned, “NIBULON really has plans to construct its elevator in Cherkasy region. At present NIBULON’s specialists are studying sites to construct the facility in Uman or Khrystynivka regions. The process to execute the required documents has been started. Both authorities and business face difficulties at the stage of land plot registration, etc. How can a foreign investor allocate money, facing so many obstacles? In order to attract investors, the land plot registration procedure must be performed within an hour”.
It should be noted that NIBULON has already invested in Cherkasy region.
In 2007, the company put into operation the modern elevator complex of “Zolotonis’ka” branch in Voznesenske village (Zolotonosha district). Two years later, NIBULON established the transshipment terminal of “Vitove” branch in Vitove village (Chygyryn district).
In addition, NIBULON is cultivating agricultural commodities at leased land at “Chygyryn” branch (Chygyryn town, Chygyryn district) and “Kamyanka” branch (Luzanivka village, Kamyanka district).
