MHP in Ukraine to be Impacted by Invasion and Disruption

03/14/2022

Despite an optimistic statement from executive chairman John Rich, MHP, Europe’s second largest broiler producer, will be impacted by the invasion.

 

According to available information, MHP operates a number of complexes in Vinnytsya (West Central Ukraine); Cherkasy (Central); Dnipropetrovska (East) and Ivano-Frankivska (West).  At the present time, the first two complexes are beyond the zone of conflict. In recent days Ivano-Frankivska, in relative proximity to the border with Poland, has suffered from aerial bombardment.  In theory the company could continue operation although it is noted that the supply chain has been seriously impacted. Feed ingredients stored for production will soon be depleted, power will become a limiting factor together with non-availability of labor and fuel.

It is estimated that MHP represents 50 percent of national production and supplies 400 tons annually to the market in Ukraine.

 

Agricultural exports from Ukraine including eggs and poultry meat have ceased and MHP is now committed to providing product to hospitals and the voluntary military as long as stocks last.
