NIBULON : The First Million of "Kamianka-Dniprovs'ka" Branch

The production branch has received almost 572 thousand tons of wheat, 182 thousand tons of barley, 114 thousand tons of corn, 104 thousand tons of rapeseed, 24.5 thousand tons of sorghum, and more than 5 thousand tons of sunflower and soybean since it was put into operation (at the end of April 2010). These are mainly products from agricultural producers of Zaporizhzhia region, some districts of Kherson region, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Donetsk regions.

According to branch director Volodymyr Horishnyi, they achieved such a result due to well organized and efficient work of the team, which became a big family and due to agricultural producers of the region who trust NIBULON. Thus, today more than 300 farmers cooperate with 'Kamianka-Dniprovs'ka' branch.

However, 'Kamianka-Dniprovs'ka' branch has shipped almost 900 thousand tons of grain on water transport for six years of its operation (more than 246 thousand tons were shipped in 2016). It isn't difficult to calculate that due to water transportation from NIBULON's terminal in Zaporizhzia region, number of trucks on the highways has reduced in recent years by 37.5 thousand units.

It should be noted that when the biggest in Ukraine (at that period) modern high-tech transshipment terminal in Zaporizhzia region appeared, economic situation of farms in Zaporizhzhia region has significantly improved since they started to get a fair price for grain while reducing costs for its transportation by half. Moreover, the newly built facility provided about 100 citizens of Kamianka-Dniprovska town with job.

Today the production branch not only is engaged in production activity but also participates in development of the town infrastructure.

This year the number of NIBULON's facilities in Zaporizhzia region will increase. In December 2016, the European Investment Bank allocated a loan of EUR 71 million to finance the investment project. As part of the given project the company will construct up to 10 high-tech elevator complexes for 2-3 years, including the ones along the Dnipro River and the Southern Buh River. Two of them in Zaporizhzhia region (Bilenke village) and in Kherson region (Hola Prystan town) will be constructed in the first half of 2017.
