KSG Agro started its own oil processing with further export

KSG Agro starts processing under the toll scheme of rapeseed and sunflower in Ukraine and bringing the oil to the consumer standard directly in the EU, for the export of vegetable oil intended directly for the consumer. This was stated by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of KSG Agro Sergiy Kasianov in an interview with the CBC Canadian television and radio company.
The war in Ukraine is forcing agricultural producers to change their strategies, looking for new sales channels for agricultural products. The blockade of Ukraine’s seaports due to Russia’s military aggression makes traditional logistics chains and export supplies of grain and oil agricultural products impossible. In these circumstances, KSG Agro agricultural holding under the tolling scheme began processing rapeseed and sunflower in Ukraine for export. At the same time, after finishing the oil and packing directly in the EU, the holding will export ready-to-eat products.
“Our military realities push us to find new strategic solutions,” says Sergiy Kasianov. “Yes, we have decided that rapeseed and sunflower will be processed, because selling such products abroad in the form of the same vegetable oil, ready for consumption at a better price is more likely than just sunflower seeds.”
According to Sergiy Kasianov, the agricultural holding has already signed a contract with one oil refinery in Ukraine. Negotiations are currently underway with European partners on the refining of oil, its packaging in PET bottles in EU countries for further sale, both in the EU and in other countries.
In order to solve the problem of transporting oil to the EU, KSG Agro has already purchased flexitanks in Turkey, which will allow them to transport up to 22-24 tons of oil in conventional trucks.
