Nibulon plants to export grain to Cuba

Mykolaiv-based Nibulon agricultural company, one of the largest

producers and exporters of grain and oilseed in Ukraine, is considering

exports of corn, wheat and soybeans to Cuba, reads a posting on the Web

site of the company on Thursday.



The report says that preliminary agreements on supplies of the said

crops were reached with Cuba's Alimport foreign trade company.



The company said that during a visit of representatives of the Cuban

company to Mykolaiv, the volumes and terms of supplies of crops to Cuba

were discussed. The agreements could be signed soon.



Nibulon said that the interest of Cuba to large suppliers of grain crops

is linked to complicated climate conditions for agriculture in the

country and badly developed logistics.



Cuba could be the 61st export partner of Nibulon.



Nibulon was established in 1991 and is one of the largest operators on

the grain market. The company has elevators with a total capacity of 1.6

million tonnes, as well as its own transshipment terminal in Mykolaiv.



Nibulon has since 2009 been implementing a project to commission 17

grain elevators and river terminals, as well as build 57 vessels,

including 14 sea and river tugboats with an overall deadweight of

200,000 tonnes.
