Agriholdings comment on risks following suspension of diesel exports from Slovakia and Hungary

Despite the suspension of diesel fuel exports from Slovakia and Hungary, Ukrainian agriholdings told Latifundist.com that they do not expect a shortage. Industry representatives note that the fuel market remains diversified, and companies have sufficient reserves to ensure stable operations during the sowing campaign.

According to Yevhen Chornyi, Director of Procurement and Warehouse Logistics at Agrovista, the news about halted supplies did not cause concern among agricultural producers.

“When I saw the news about Slovakia and Hungary, there was no cold sweat. I’m in daily contact with suppliers — everyone is calm,” he said.

He added that fuel importers confirm the market has several alternative supply channels. If volumes decline in one direction, the shortfall is quickly compensated for by other sources.

NIBULON shares a similar position. The company’s Technical Director, Yurii Khorunzhyi, emphasized that Ukraine’s fuel market has changed significantly in recent years.

“We do not expect any systemic impact either on the pricing situation or on the operational activities of the agricultural sector,” he explained.

TAS Agro also reported that it had prepared in advance for potential risks. The company’s Director of Procurement, Yevhen Makarchenkov, stated that the enterprise has sufficient fuel reserves.

“I see no significant impact on the market or on farmers. Our company is supplied with fuel — we accumulated resources in advance to minimize risks ahead of the sowing campaign,” he added.
