KYIV, July 17 - JV Nibulon LLC (Mykolaiv), one of the largest operators in the grain market of Ukraine, has never staked on the "grain agreement" as the main export route due to its exclusive dependence on the actions of the occupying country, initially considering Danube as an alternative route for the export of Ukrainian grain, the company said in a comment to Interfax-Ukraine on Monday.

"Our company understands that efficiency in logistics and stability of supplies can be achieved only if the transportation and loading process is controlled. That is why, since the beginning of the blockade, we have considered the Danube as the main alternative route for the export of Ukrainian grain, which will not depend on whims and manipulative actions of Russia," Nibulon's sales director Volodymyr Slavinsky emphasized.
