During the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, MHP provided comprehensive support to the state. The company focused on two key areas: the food security of the country and the safety of about 27 thousand of its employees. By virtue of the company’s activities, economic risks in the regions and communities of its presence are also overcome, and many social issues are resolved, regarding internally displaced persons (IDPs) especially.     

MHP is international company in the field of food and agro-technologies. The company is over 20 years old and at the moment it is a group of enterprises in the fields of agriculture, food production and retail. MHP’s headquarters is in Kyiv, while production facilities are located in Ukraine and the Balkans. The company has subsidiaries in the Netherlands, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia and other countries. 

Food security of Ukraine. MHP enterprises ensured the food security of the state. About 13,000 tons of the company’s products (primarily chicken meat) to the amount of over UAH 630 million were transferred as gratis humanitarian supplies to various parts of Ukraine. The company created several humanitarian centres and digital platform dopomoga.mhp.com.ua processing applications for aid. MHP cooperation with the state, volunteers and other businesses made it possible to avoid a food disaster in these territories. In general, communities from more than 700 cities and villages of Ukraine felt the company’s support.    

Despite the great financial losses caused to the company by the war, MHP did not stop the operation of any of its enterprises for a single day (except for one located in battle area, temporarily on hold).    

The sowing campaign was also carried out on time. Considering the risks of the world food crisis, as well as the fact that MHP has one of the largest land banks in Ukraine, the company’s preservation of the crop is a crucial factor for the stability of Ukraine in war and post-war times.    

Humanitarian aid from abroad. Using the established logistics and the company’s business contacts in Europe, as well as the cooperation of the Charity Foundation “MHP-Gromadi” with international donors, there is a constant delivery of humanitarian goods to Ukraine from abroad.     

Support for the economy of Ukraine and socio-economic projects for the community’s development. MHP continues to be the leader of the agricultural sector of Ukraine in terms of taxes paid to the state and local budgets. In addition, the company together with the Foundation “MHP-Gromadi” are implementing the “DO YOUR BUSINESS” and “Time to act, Ukraine!” grant projects aimed at developing the economic soundness of communities and self-employment.     

Charity, protection and assistance to a vulnerable population. During the war, MHP increased its support for vulnerable populations — in particular, assistance to internally displaced persons. A vivid example was the transfer of the first batch of “KoKo” baby food to help children in difficult circumstances due to the war. Today, our support is experienced by hospitals and maternity homes, charitable institutions caring for orphans and the elderly, as well as people who lost their homes and means of survival due to the war.     

Humanitarian aid to employees. Since the 24th of February MHP has continuously taken measures to evacuate employees and their families from the territories of high risk to their lives and safety. The company laid the groundwork for the safest possible work in wartime conditions, and took care of employees’ children. Also the company provided employees and their families with products of its own production.
