Ukraine's agricultural products underpriced on logistics concerns: Kernel CEO Osypov

Ukrainian agricultural producers have to contend with intense competition in global markets. Logistics challenges are driving down prices for Ukrainian commodities, stated Kernel CEO Yevhen Osypov at Forbes' Exporters Summit in Kyiv.

He noted that Ukrainian products are highly competitive in global markets, but they are discounted due to logistical risks.

"We will cooperate with the market to be able to deliver products on time and be a reliable supplier," Yevhen Osypov added.

According to the company CEO, Kernel supplies the world market with products grown by 5,000 Ukrainian farmers. The world's top sunflower oil exporter plans to increase its share in farm product exports, stay strong in export markets and ensure that Ukraine is not discounted on global markets.
