IFC Helps Ukrainian Poultry Producer Take Flight [2013 article, IFC in Ukraine since 1993]

The fine dining establishments of Knightsbridge and the Champs Elysees may soon be serving their well-to-do customers Ukrainian chicken. Backed by a $50 million IFC loan, Ukraine’s leading poultry producer is set to expand into European markets, and perhaps beyond.

IFC is supporting the expansion of long-time client Myronivskiy Hliboproduct, or MHP, while helping the fast-growing company build the greenest farming operation in the country. "When I started my poultry business back in the 1990s, there was practically no market in the country for our fresh chickens,” says Yuri Kosyuk, MHP founder and chairman.

“After my study tours abroad I understood that Ukraine should not be importing poultry but exporting,” he explains. “With IFC’s support, over the years we have been able to build up the sector, create thousands of jobs, and set an example of modern, state-of-the-art food production."

...

IFC will also advise the company on resource efficiency and certifying its farms to Good Agricultural Practice (Global G.A.P.), both of which are likely to inspire more environmentally-friendly farming operations in Ukraine.

Over 80 percent of MHP’s chicken sales are domestic, but the company is expanding internationally. In 2012, MHP exports increased by 65 percent to 58,000 tons. Kosyuk wants exports grow further. Fortunately, the doors to Europe have just opened, and MHP is poised to become the first Ukrainian poultry producer to tap European markets.

What’s more, the company has halal-certified some of its production facilities and is eyeing markets in the Middle East.

According to other articles at the IFC website:

"Ukraine became a member of IFC in 1993. IFC began operating in Ukraine by pioneering advisory projects in privatization and land reform. This helped create a base for the private sector, with support from such governments as Canada, Japan, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. "

Developing Agri-Insurance Industry in Ukraine

Ukraine was the world’s third largest exporter of grain in 2009. With some of the best soil in Europe, Ukraine can play a key role in mitigating the world’s food crisis. However, its agricultural production is exposed to many natural threats beyond producers’ control. As shown by global experience, and particularly that of Canada – which is IFC’s partner in the project – agri-insurance is well suited to be an efficient risk management tool to protect producers against weather risks, stabilize their incomes, and help restore production after unfavorable climatic events.

So... despite being the world's 3rd largest grain exporter, Ukraine "needs" the "expertise" of World Bank. Notice in the language the standard "pivot" from describing the current situation to creating an urgent problem that absolutely must be solved - world hunger, poor Ukrainian farmers exposed to threats beyond their control. Classic new world order globalism.

I would highly recommended a perusal of the IFC website, and I will try to respond to specific (serious) questions or discussion points you have regarding specific information on the World Bank IFC website, especially on financial and political control mechanisms.

It's fairly obvious that since globalist elites have brought billions in investment to Eastern European nations since their independence, and have established new legal and policy frameworks as well, to the extent of bringing them into the EU, today's events are simply a continuation of decades-old long-term plans of those elites for moving these nations into the Western economic sphere of influence. The only obvious question is if and when they plan to formally join Russia and Europe as well.

To get a glimpse of future geopolitical dynamics, one must study the actions and stated directions of the globalist elites, and, of course, be able to see through the geopolitical theatre of today's news, which is exclusively delivered by pundits and propagandists.

European Bank appointed financial advisor in Ukraine

Author(s): Anton Usov
Date: 10 February 1993

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has been appointed by the Ukraine Ministry of Transportation and the management of Ukrrechflot, the state-owned river transportation company, to act as their exclusive financial advisor in the enterprise's privatisation.

In his letter of appointment to the Bank the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Orest Klimpush, said "Ukrrechflot offers great potential to become an outstanding model for privatisation and your proposed assistance will provide much-needed guidance in virtually every respect of the process."

...

Ukrrechflot is one of the largest Ukrainian companies, employing 25,600 people in 1991. The Ukrrechflot corporation is comprised of some 53 organisations which are involved in all aspects of the river transportation system in Ukraine with the main focus on domestic and international transport of freight and people. In 1991, the company transported over 60 million tonnes of freight and 20 million passengers.

IMHO...

They work for the financial elites, they just report up their own hierarchy.

They’re like a parallel structure alongside of, outside of, the “US government” and any particular business.

This frees them from any and all visibility, monitoring, regulatory oversight, etc.

As far as the public is concerned, they’re like an “output only” device.

No one in business, the public, or government tells them what to do or not do.

They can then transmit orders to the government, at various levels, to get their internal assignments from “on high” done. They can also completely privately network with capital markets and business, at various levels, for the same purpose. Thus they can help coordinate the movement of private capital, tax money, and risk to facilitate economic and social control, socialiaztion of risk and monopolistic state capture.

They continue to publish their own financial statements, the public face of their projects, etc., as that info is best hidden in plain sight. The sheeple don’t generally want to think about the World Bank, etc.

Thus they can help coordinate the movement of private capital, tax money, and risk to facilitate economic and social control, socialiaztion of risk and monopolistic state capture.
