MHP

Stock performance

History

MHP was founded by businessman Yuriy Kosiuk and grew into Ukraine's largest poultry producer and one of the largest agricultural companies in Europe, building large-scale vertically integrated poultry and grain operations that made Ukraine, already known as a major grain exporter, also a significant chicken exporter to European and Middle Eastern markets before the war.

Business model

MHP produces poultry, grain, and other agricultural products across large vertically integrated Ukrainian farming and processing operations, exporting substantially to European Union and Middle Eastern markets, though wartime disruption to Ukrainian agriculture and Black Sea export routes has significantly affected operations since 2022.

Market position

MHP is the largest poultry producer in Ukraine and one of the largest in Europe, and its scale reflects Ukraine's broader status as one of the world's most significant agricultural exporters, a position of global importance given Ukraine's role in international grain and food-security markets.

Country impact

MHP is one of the largest agricultural companies in Ukraine, and Ukraine's agricultural exports broadly, including MHP's poultry and grain, have taken on heightened global significance during the war given Ukraine's role as a critical global food supplier, with disruptions to Ukrainian exports contributing to broader international food-security concerns since 2022.
