"Soybean oil and meal production and export growth is a distinctive feature of the past season. This was facilitated by an increase in soybean production — in 2018/19, the bulk yield stood at 4.5 mln t. We hope to further enhance the production and export of soybean oil and meal, provided that the changes made to the Tax Code regarding VAT refunds are preserved," commented Dmitriy Chalenko, Chairman of the Board of Vinnytsya Oil and Fat Plant.
