Kuidas Ukraina allikad seda kirjeldavad
Ukrainian media emphasize that this is the first public issuance of corporate bonds denominated in foreign currency of this size in Ukraine. The reporting focuses on the issuance terms, use of proceeds and organizers, linking the financing to the agricultural group’s operational needs and logistical difficulties caused by war-related disruptions.

Taust
Kernel is one of Ukraine’s largest agricultural groups and a leading sunflower oil exporter. After the start of the full-scale war, it changed its logistics routes because of blocked seaports and interruptions to the grain corridor. In the 2026 financial year, which ended on June 30, Kernel increased revenue by 7% to $4.4 billion and EBITDA by 20% to $558 million. Its board recommended withholding dividends so funds could be used to repair damaged facilities and cover higher logistics costs.
