Ukraine's largest producer of sunflower oil has stopped factory work due to Russian attacks. Forbes.
We are talking about the Kernel agricultural holding, which produces Chedari Dar, Stozhar, Chumak and other oil brands.
During the last 24 hours, Russian drones attacked the company's factories, resulting in damage to production buildings.
Kernell explained that oil production operates in a continuous technological cycle and has an increased risk of fire. Entering the equipment during activity could lead to a large-scale fire and pose a threat to the lives of the employees, so the company decided to shut down the factories completely.
The factories made a safe shutdown of production, and the workers were moved to safe conditions.
Despite the suspension of processing, Kernel continues to ship products from warehouse stocks and fulfill obligations to Ukrainian farmers and partners. The company also said it remains operationally and financially sound.
