Traditionally the region has been an agrarian one. Historical documents evidence that by the end of the 19th century the region was among the leaders of grain production in the Russian Empire. Besides, historically Mykolayiv is situated on the crossing of important sea waterways. On April 10, 1862 the State Council adopted a resolution to open Mykolayiv Commercial Port and to set up the customs. Soon the port was occupied by one of the leading positions in handling cargoes in the state, and Mykolayiv became an important grain export centre. In the 1880`s, average annual volume of grain for export from Mykolayiv Port was over 23 million poods (a "pood" is a Russian unit of weight, 1 pood equals to 16kg). In 1893, a grain elevator was built in Mykolayiv Commercial Port. The grain and cereals were among the basic products exported from Mykolayiv region. Grain export infrastructure was gradually developing, involving more operators in the grain trade. Wheat exports in bumper-crop years (1905, 1910) reached 50 million poods. Establishment of the Soviet regime and introduction of the planned economy interrupted the formed tendencies in the grain trade development. However, even after 1917 the region retained its importance in the domestic grain production. After the Second World War, the grain produced in Ukraine, including Mykolayiv region, played an important role in satisfying the gross demand for grain on the Soviet Union territory. In 1990, Ukraine confirmed its large potential in grain production: over 51 million tons of grain were harvested with an average yield of 3.51 tons per hectare. In Mykolayiv region, the yield totaled over 2.7 million tons with an average yield of 3.54 tons per hectare. According to many experts’ estimations, the potential of Ukrainian grain production significantly overrides the actual level of 1990. "NIBULON", since the moment of foundation thereof, survived all stages of development of the state, changes in economic and political situation and legislation, having showed its capability of survival and sustainable development. 1991 - Ukraine obtained the status of an independent state. The period of transition to market economy begins. Political and legislative changes make possible development of entrepreneurship in the economy, including the agricultural sector. However, the transition problems affected agriculture: agrarians suffer shortage in supply with agricultural machinery, lack of fuel, sowing seeds and herbicides. The crisis in the field was accompanied by decrease in productivity and total yields of main agricultural commodities. In 1991, 38,674 thousand tons of grain were harvested in Ukraine with a yield of 2,65 tons per hectare, which was 24% off the level of 1990. Under the conditions of the overall economic crisis and gradual decreasing in governmental support to agricultural producers, only efficient and competitive agricultural entities could survive. - Establishment of "NIBULON" Joint Ukrainian-Hungarian-English Agricultural Venture ("NIBULON" AJV). Along with the General Director O.O.Vadaturskyy, a Hungarian company "KOMBISEED KFT" and English company "Meridian Commodities Ltd." became co-founders of the company. The company’s name "NIBULON" consists of the first letters in the names of the co-founders` cities: NIkolaev, BUdapest, LONdon. Among the company`s main activities - production and distribution of hybrid maize and sunflower seeds of foreign origin. 1992 - Ukraine goes out of the USSR rubble zone. The national currency, karbovanets ’, is introduced. 1992-1993 - "NIBULON" AJV purchases a kolkhoz-owned compound feed plant. On its base " Vradiyivs’kyy Agricultural Complex" for compound feed and poultry production is founded. 1993-1994 - The Ukrainian economy experiences the period of hyperinflation: inflation indexes reach a record level. The consumer prices index in 1993 made 10256.0. At the same time, the payment crisis aggravated, reaching its peak in February 1994, when the aggregate mutual indebtedness of companies and organizations almost by two times exceeded the gross industrial output in the country. - The economic crisis affected agricultural sector especially critically; the producers suffer dramatic lack of production resources, particularly fuels for performing land works. Under these circumstances, "NIBULON" AJV undertakes important and, at the same time, risky mission - provision for supply of diesel fuels and gasoline, purchased in the foreign market, to local farms. 1994 - "NIBULON" AJV purchases "Sabiko" JSC in order to set up a machinery base there, as well as a machinery-and-tractor station for the acquired agricultural machinery of foreign origin. 1995 - Crisis in the economy lead to contraction of domestic market; food-processing enterprises in agro-industrial complex faced the problem of falling effective demand for their produce. In particular, many oil-extraction plants faced hazard of suspension of production. Most traders export oilseeds in this period. Unlike those exporters, "NIBULON" AJV exported mostly sunflower oil and meal, thus providing demand to several oil-extraction plants and increasing the share of high-level processing produce in the structure of Ukrainian exports. "NIBULON" AJV performed up to 28% of the total exports of sunflower oil and up to 30% of the total exports of sunflower meal from Ukraine. 1996 - Currency reform is implemented in Ukraine. Ukrainian Hryvna (UAH) becomes the national currency. - June the 28th. Ukrainian Constitution was adopted. - Four branches of "NIBULON" AJV are established in Mykolayiv and Lugans’k regions. On the basis of the former bankrupt collective farm (kolkhoz) in Lidievka village of Mykolayiv region, a subdivision of "NIBULON" AJV is created - "Lidiyivs’ke" Experimental Research Farm (ERF). Pursuant to the State Deed, 2950 hectares of land were allocated to the farm. 1997 - Five more branches were set up in Lugans’k and one in Kharkiv regions, which allowed reducing the risks in the company`s agricultural production. The cattle of Angler (Angeln) breed was brought from Germany for a pedigree cattle multiplication farm. 1998 - Aggravation of the world economic crisis. Default on state treasury bills is announced in Russian Federation. Inflation processes in Ukraine, delays in payments by foreign partners, sharp decline in the prices for agricultural products. However, even under such circumstances the company succeeded in implementation of its objectives related to development of production capacities, creation of a modern agricultural machinery base and introduction of a complex tillage technology. - For the first time in Ukraine, a loan under support of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the IBRD) was granted directly to an agricultural producer - "NIBULON" AJV. The facility amounting to USD 5 million was used to implement the Export Development Project. Within the framework of the Project, agricultural machinery for the total of USD 9 million was supplied. After due completion of the program, the IBRD distinguished NIBULON`s work with a diploma for the most successful activities in the framework of the "Export Development Project". 1999 - Three service centers for repair and maintenance of the machinery and tractors were established. A branch in Khmil’nyk district of Vinnytsya region was established, with the total area of the cultivated land exceeding 2,5 thousand hectares. 2000 - Pursuant to the Decree of the President of Ukraine dd. 03.12.1999 Np.1529/99 "On urgent measures for acceleration of reforms in agrarian sector of the economy", all members of agricultural collective farms were entitled to freely draw away of these enterprises with their land plots (land shares) and property shares and to create, based thereupon, private (private-leased) enterprises, farm businesses and other types of business, based on private property. Instead of collective agricultural enterprises that used to dominate, new organizational and legal forms are established in agriculture that conform to the market model of economy. At the same time, the problem aggravates of low material and technical provision for agrarians. - The former collective farm "Shyrokyy" in Snigurivs’kyy district of Mykolayiv region affiliated with "NIBULON" AJV.
