Friends, we have repeatedly told you about our fruitful cooperation with the international USAID ERA project, which has been strengthening Ukraine’s agricultural logistics since the beginning of the full-scale invasion by providing the most essential support to companies working to ensure global food security.

In 2023, when NIBULON was forced to shift from water transportation of grain to road and rail transportation, it was the USAID ERA that made this alternative solution possible. The project purchased 50 modern hopper wagons for NIBULON, each capable of transporting 70 tons of grain.

Today, we are proud to say that thanks to this powerful and vital support, NIBULON has already transported and exported 100 thousand tons of grain to 25 countries worldwide.

Serhii Kalkutin, NIBULON’s Director of Logistics, said:

“We are grateful to our international partners who lent a helping hand during a difficult time for the company by providing these much-needed hopper wagons. This enabled us to continue our operations, resuming the purchase of agricultural products at the blocked river terminals, thereby supporting our agricultural partners. The combination of road and rail transport has allowed us to optimize logistics costs and offer farmers purchase prices that ensure the profitability of their production.”

We thank our partners and congratulate ourselves on this first significant milestone!

We continue moving forward together, as there is still a lot of work ahead!
