The Bank has provided USD 25 million, part of a syndicated pre-export finance facility for Kernel Group, a leading force in Ukraine’s agricultural sector and one of the world’s top sunflower oil exporters. This funding will ensure the company has the working capital needed to procure, process, store, and transport oilseeds and vegetable oils to global markets.

BSTDB is proud to stand by Kernel during these critical times as agriculture remains a cornerstone of Ukraine’s economy, and by supporting production and exports, the Banks is not only sustaining a vital industry but also strengthening the country’s economic resilience and recovery.
