Silo Services

Kernel is the largest private provider of inland silo services in Ukraine with 2.3 million tons of grain storage capacity concentrated in key farming regions.

Grain silos are at the heart of our close and long-term relationship with the farmers of Ukraine. Kernel operates 37 grain elevators strategically located deep in the grain and sunflower belt of Ukraine. This offers farmers, our key suppliers, 2.3 million tons of grain storage capacity, and includes typical silo services such as cleaning and drying of grain. Inland grain silos are critical both for efficient origination and supply of feedstock to our crushing plants and for supply of grain to our grain export pipeline from Ukraine. Today, on average, Kernel buys half of the wheat, barley and corn, and over two-thirds of the sunflower seed stored in company silos.
