Kernel shuts down all its oil extraction plants due to Russian attacks

Due to massive Russian strikes on food industry enterprises, Kernel has stopped the work of all its oil extraction plants.

USM reported this to the company’s press service.

As noted in Kernel, in recent days, Russian drones have targeted production sites of Ukrainian processing enterprises, including the company’s assets. As a result of the hits, production buildings, equipment and tanks were damaged.

“Oil extraction production is a continuous technological cycle with increased fire risk. Hitting operating equipment creates a direct threat of a large-scale fire and a danger to the lives of workers – that is why a decision has been made to completely stop all plants,” Kernel reported.

The company added that currently all regulatory safety protocols for stopping have been implemented at absolutely all Kernel enterprises, and all employees are in safe conditions.

It is also noted that all seed purchases have also been stopped.

“Despite the halt in processing, Kernel maintains full operational and financial stability, continues to ship existing product residues from warehouses, and fully fulfills its obligations to Ukrainian farmers and all partners,” the company summarized.
