Kernel, one of Ukraine’s largest agricultural holdings, increased oilseed processing by 17% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (FY, January–March 2026) compared to the same period last year—to 986,000 tons, the company reported in its operating report.
“Kernel processed 986,000 tons of oilseeds during January–March 2026, which is 17% more than in the previous year, thanks to improved availability and procurement of sunflower seeds on the domestic market, while remaining generally stable compared to the previous quarter. Sunflower seeds accounted for the majority of the processing volume, while soybeans and rapeseed contributed to the overall utilization at the group’s oil processing plants,” the document states.
According to the report, sales of edible oil during the reporting period increased by 7% and reached 373,000 tons, which correlates with processing trends. Bottled sunflower oil accounted for 19,000 tons of total sales.
The volume of grain stored in elevators (silos) in January–March amounted to 511,000 tons. According to the agricultural holding, this result reflects the protracted harvest campaign in Ukraine, as well as an increase in the volume of products received from third-party suppliers. Cumulatively, over the first nine months of the 2026 financial year, this figure reached 4 million tons.
Kernel emphasized that the 50% year-over-year growth in procurement is due to a change in crop structure: the share of corn in the 2025 harvest rose to 48% compared to 24% in the previous season.
Grain exports from Ukraine in the third quarter of the fiscal year totaled 1.5 million tons, effectively maintaining the level of the previous quarter. Restraining factors included slow sales by farmers, power shortages, and rising logistics costs.
At the same time, transshipment through the group’s export terminals increased by 4% compared to the previous fiscal year and by 6% compared to the previous quarter, reaching 2.6 million tons. Grain accounted for 73% of total cargo handling, oils for 14%, and meal for the remainder.
” “In total, terminal throughput for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 amounted to 6.9 million tons, which is 6% less than in the previous year, amid operational disruptions caused by intensified attacks on Black Sea ports and adverse weather conditions,” the agricultural holding concluded.
Kernel Agricultural Holding is the world’s largest producer and exporter of sunflower oil, Ukraine’s largest grain exporter, an operator of an extensive network of logistics assets, and a leading producer of grains and oilseeds in Ukraine. It is one of the largest producers and sellers of bottled oil in Ukraine. It is engaged in the cultivation and sale of agricultural products.

Who made it into the top ten of the OpenDataBot Index 2026?
The total revenue of the top IT companies in the OpenDataBot Index 2026 amounted to 54.67 billion UAH. This is 3% less than the total revenue of the leading companies in 2025. The “entry ticket” to the top 10 companies is 2.69 billion UAH. The top three remained unchanged, but four new companies joined the list.
The top ten IT companies on the OpenDataBot Index 2026 generated 54.67 billion UAH in revenue. This is 3% less than the previous year. Despite this, the “entry threshold” for the top 10 remained virtually unchanged: while it was 2.6 billion UAH in 2025, it was 2.69 billion UAH in 2026.
The top three remained unchanged. First place is traditionally held by GlobalLogic Ukraine (GlobalLogic). Last year, the company lost 7% of its revenue but managed to increase its profit by 15%—to 748 million UAH. The company emphasizes that business stability is supported, in particular, by systematic social responsibility.
“Over 5,500 Ukrainian engineers at GlobalLogic are maintaining pre-war productivity levels while working on more than 500 international projects. Over the past year, the company has attracted 50 new clients, which supports business stability. At the same time, about 400 employees serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the company systematically supports charitable initiatives. “In particular, we recently doubled the team’s donation to Superhumans—contributing a total of 1.5 million UAH, which will fund prosthetics for three veterans. At the same time, GlobalLogic is developing veteran programs to help specialists return to work,” notes Anna Shcherbakova, Head of Operations, GlobalLogic Ukraine & EMEA.

In fact, the company replaced Fintech Band in the ranking—a business owned by the same founders, Oleg Gorokhovsky and Mykhailo Rogalsky, which lost more than half of its revenue over the year. The company attributes this success to three factors: steady business growth, international investments, and the implementation of AI.
“Kilobyte1024, part of the Fintech-IT Group, not only attracts international investments but also transforms them into stable financial results and long-term capitalization.
Our particular focus is on investing in artificial intelligence as the infrastructure of the future: from product automation to improving team efficiency. It is the combination of investment, technological depth, and a consistent approach that allows us to grow even in unstable conditions,” notes Kilobyte1024.
Another notable update occurred within the SoftServe group. Two new companies appeared in the ranking at once—SoftServe Digital and SoftServe Matrix. The former took sixth place, increasing revenue 1.7-fold to 3.75 billion UAH and achieving 100 times higher profit—214 million UAH.
Founded in 2024, SoftServe Matrix generated UAH 2.85 billion in revenue and increased its profit by 2.8 times—to UAH 143 million. Meanwhile, another company in the group, SoftServe Technologies, dropped out of the ranking. In total, the two SoftServe companies accounted for 12% of the Index’s total revenue.

The tenth position is held by another newcomer to the ranking—Capgemini Ukraine, founded in March 2024. In just one year of operation, the company showed the largest revenue growth among the leaders: a 2.5-fold increase to 2.69 billion UAH. The company’s profit increased by 5% to 282.5 million UAH.
In addition to the previously mentioned SoftServe Technologies and Fintech Band, two more companies left the Index—Highload Solutions (Favbet) and SQUAD Ukraine (SQUAD), which also saw a decline in revenue.
Within a month of the index’s creation, some companies discovered errors in their financial statements and submitted revised data. As a result, TERRA-E-SOFT left the ranking, while Kapgemini moved into the top ten.

The international medical conference Breast Weekend 3.0 took place in Uzhhorod, focusing on modern approaches in breast surgery—including aesthetic plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, and breast oncology.
The conference was opened by Uzhhorod Mayor Bohdan Andriyiv, who emphasized the importance of such events for the development of the city and region as a modern medical and professional hub.
The conference brought together Ukrainian and international specialists and served as a platform for interdisciplinary discussion of modern treatment methods, recovery, and aesthetic outcomes in patient care.
According to the organizers, a key feature of the event is the combination of oncological, reconstructive, and aesthetic approaches, which aligns with current global practice.
“Today, breast cancer treatment is a team effort. Oncology, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery cannot exist in isolation. It is their combination that allows us to achieve the best results for the patient—both medical and aesthetic,” said the conference’s main organizer and founder of the Lita Plus clinic, Serhiy Derbak.
This year, the conference featured international speakers from the Czech Republic, Germany, and Moldova, who traveled to Ukraine to exchange clinical experience and discuss modern approaches in breast surgery.
According to the organizers, the participation of European experts is a crucial component of the industry’s development, as it allows for the integration of Ukrainian experience into an international context and the formation of a shared professional environment.
The conference program devoted special attention to new trends in breast surgery. In particular, plastic surgeon Oleksandr Karpinsky presented the concept of “tissue preservation”—an approach that involves preserving tissues and utilizing natural anatomical structures during surgery.
“Today we are living in a period of changing philosophy in plastic surgery. The current trend is minimal trauma. We work with anatomy while preserving tissues, which allows us to significantly shorten the recovery period and at the same time achieve stable results. This is a new stage in the development of breast surgery,” — noted Karpinsky.
According to him, this approach is already actively used abroad in aesthetic surgery and will shape the development of the field in the coming years.
Uzhhorod Mayor Bohdan Andriyiv emphasized the importance of hosting international medical events for the region’s development.
“Hosting such conferences is a key factor in the development of the city and the region. It fosters a professional environment, attracts international partners, and shapes Uzhhorod’s image as a platform for medical advancement and professional exchange,” he noted.
The conference was held with the support of the Ukrainian Association of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Dermatological Aesthetic Surgery and Oncoplastic Mammology (UPRADAS) and included a charitable component—a portion of the proceeds was directed toward supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The organizers note that Breast Weekend 3.0 marked another step in building a professional community that advances modern approaches to breast surgery and interdisciplinary collaboration in Ukraine.
