Two more Ukrainian oil producers halt operations amid power outages and security risks

Two more Ukrainian vegetable oil producers have halted operations due to security concerns and constant emergency power outages. The companies made the decision to stop production on November 12. The company "Delta Wilmar Ukraine" suspended all production capacities, including its oil extraction plant in the Odesa region. The Dnipro-based oil extraction plant "Potoky" also temporarily stopped purchasing and processing sunflower seeds, citing power disruptions, the difficult security situation, and the need for restoration work after previous attacks. These shutdowns follow the recent suspension of all oil extraction plants by the major agricultural holding "Kernel" due to massive Russian strikes. On November 11, Russian drones hit a factory and a sugar enterprise in the Kyiv region, killing one person and injuring another.
