‘Our collapse would be catastrophic for the war’

The boss of one of Ukraine’s largest food producers said a failure in its operations would have “catastrophic” consequences for the country’s army and people.

MHP is a London-listed poultry company with over 30,000 employees in Ukraine.

It is a major supplier to the Ukrainian military and has been involved in humanitarian efforts.

It has delivered food to remote communities across the country.

These deliveries were often made free of charge and at great personal risk for the employees of MHP SE.

The company’s Australian chairman, Dr. John Rich, who runs the company from its offices in Slovenia, said its survival was vital to the war effort.

The effects of the company’s failure in its manufacturing or distribution operations would have “catastrophic effects” on the Army and the war effort, Dr. rich

This would also have an “enormous humanitarian effect” in Ukraine, since MHP, according to Dr. Rich is the last company in this field of food supply.

“Many of our competitors, especially in the east of the country, no longer exist,” he explained.

dr Rich said the company is a key food producer and distributor for the Army.

“You have to put food in the army’s belly, especially protein. If you don’t do that, you’ll have serious problems, especially in the cold.”

MHP has thousands of vans, which has made it an important part of the humanitarian effort. The delivery of own products and other help was particularly important for towns and villages that became isolated after the invasion, where Dr. Rich said some people went up to five days without food.

“We deliver ready-to-eat food because people can’t cook outside and we deliver to villages that are cut off,” said Dr. rich

“Right now, the company is functioning like a war room. No question,” he explained.

“Honestly, the drivers who go into these areas – it’s like a suicide squad to get into, especially the cities that have been heavily attacked.”

“This is a huge challenge for our employees and we must try to incentivize people to pay them more and guarantee that they will take care of their family if anything happens,” he added.

In addition to its poultry farms, MHP also has a strong presence in the country’s agricultural sector, cultivating thousands of hectares of wheat and cereals.

The firm is also a major exporter of sunflower oil, although the company’s exports ground to a halt after the invasion.

Both Ukraine and Russia are major exporters of staple foods, and the war has already hit crop production and pushed up prices.

On Monday, one of the world’s largest fertilizer companies, Yara International, warned that the war would shock global food supplies and costs.

The next few weeks are crucial for sowing wheat and other crops, and Dr. Rich said the situation was on a razor’s edge. At the moment, the company is able to sow within two to three weeks, but this could be hampered by the advances made by the Russian army, which has occupied 15% of the country so far, explained Dr. rich

“Of course, if this continues, our seeding capacity will decrease rapidly, especially if it (the Russian army) advances to the west of the country, where much of our operations are based,” he added.

dr Rich said this could lead to a complete production failure in Ukraine, but also had global implications.

“The consequences for Ukraine are unimaginable,” he said.

“It’s easy for the whole world. The price of wheat will continue to increase, the price of corn and other commodities will increase significantly, and you will have spiraling inflation at a time when we have already had problems with the global supply chain because of COVID,” he added.

The head of the World Food Programme, David Beasley, has also warned that the conflict in Ukraine could send global food prices skyrocketing, with disastrous effects on the world’s poorest.

Analysts have forecast that the war could actually double global wheat prices.

MHP has called for donations to its charitable foundation so they can continue to distribute food. dr Rich said he was trying to recover the huge cost of giving away poultry for free when the company’s input costs “were skyrocketing”.

“We cannot go on like this without some kind of support. That’s the reality.”
