Fozzy Group has launched LOKO, a food-tech startup in Kyiv, which provides a quick delivery service for food and meals for guests, the company’s press service told Interfax-Ukraine.
This service was supposed to start on February 28, 2022, but due to a full-scale Russian invasion, its launch had to be delayed.
According to the press service, LOKO started a week ago, from the left-bank part of Kyiv. At the time of launch, the service is available in the districts of Pozniaky, Berezniaky and part of Osokorky of the capital – the current map of the coverage area is updated on the website.
In the nearest plans is the connection of the service in the entire capital. The next cities will be Lviv and Odesa, at the same time feedback from guests is being collected, in which other cities this service may be in demand.
The LOKO concept provides for the delivery of hybrid orders: products from a supermarket, own pastries and restaurant dishes. LOKO products and dishes are delivered in 15-30 minutes, depending on the filling of the order and the address. Delivery of orders is carried out by CityRiders – specialists who provide delivery services on electric scooters.
Now there are about 1,500 goods and restaurant dishes available, LOKO cooperates with the most popular restaurants in Pozniaky, Berezniaky and part of Osokorky in Kyiv.
According to the press service, in order to become partners of the program, restaurants need to fill in a form, the selection criteria are “popularity among local residents and the desire of the restaurants themselves to connect.”
The LOKO service is built into the Silpo mobile application, the delivery cost depends on the value of the order.
Fozzy Group is one of the largest Ukrainian retailers with more than 690 outlets throughout the country.
Ukrposhta from July 1 raises the cost of standard delivery within Ukraine by an average of 14% and within the region by 13%, the company’s press service said on Thursday.
“The tariff revision is caused, first of all, by an increase in logistics costs for delivery. However, even after the revision of the cost, Ukrposhta’s tariffs remain lower compared to competitors,” the company said.
According to the national postal operator, sending a parcel weighing up to 1 kg within Ukraine, which used to cost UAH 31, will cost UAH 35 after viewing the tariffs, and delivery of a parcel weighing up to 15 kg will cost UAH 75, compared to UAH 65 before viewing the tariffs.
The express delivery service will rise in price for shipment within the region by an average of 14%, within Ukraine – by 16%. If earlier a parcel up to 1 kg across Ukraine cost UAH 39, then from July 1 it will cost UAH 45.
The cost of sending documents will increase by 14%. The cost of international shipments will remain the same.
The relevant decision to revise tariffs was approved by the National Commission for Communications Regulation back in November 2021.
Naftogaz Ukrainy plans to import 15,600 tonnes of petrol and diesel fuel into the country in July, head of the company Yuriy Vitrenko said.
“Naftogaz joined the task of eliminating the shortage that arose in the oil products market at the end of April. For the third month already, we have been increasing the volume of deliveries, on average 2.5 times monthly. In July, we plan to deliver 15,600 tonnes of gasoline and diesel,” he said on Facebook.
According to him, the company is ready to contract dozens of times more, but logistical restrictions prevent the delivery of oil products to the border of Ukraine from major ports in Europe, where there is the resource.
“Despite this, we have a positive trend. And if such rates of increasing imports of fuel continue, then in a few months Naftogaz may become the market leader,” Vitrenko said.
As reported, Ukraine in June 2022 will increase fuel imports by 1.6 times compared to May – up to 600,000 tonnes. In particular, 2/3 of them will be diesel fuel, 1/3 – gasoline and liquefied gas.
