NIBULON’s central office is located in Mykolaiv city, which is a regional centre of the southern part of Ukraine. The region is considered to be an agrarian one. According to the historical documents, at the end of the 19th century this region was among leaders in grain production. In addition, Mykolaiv is an important sea transport hub.

On April 10, 1862, the State Council adopted a resolution to open Mykolayiv Commercial Port and to set up the customs office. Mykolaiv has become an important grain export centre. In the 80s, the average annual volume of grain for export from Mykolayiv Port was more than 23 million poods of grain (a "pood" is a Russian measure of weight; 1 pood equals to 16 kg). In 1893, a grain elevator was built in Mykolaiv Commercial Port. The grain and bread products were among the basic products exported from Mykolaiv region. The grain export infrastructure was gradually developed, involving more people in the grain trade. Wheat exports in bumper years (1905, 1910) comprised 50 million poods.

The establishment of the Soviet Union and the formation of the planned economy interrupted the trends in the grain trade development. However, after 1917 the region retained its importance in the domestic grain production. After the Second World War, the grain produced in Ukraine, including Mykolayiv region, played an important role in satisfying the aggregate demand for grain crops in the Soviet Union territory.

In 1990, Ukraine confirmed its considerable potential in grain production, having achieved a gross yield of more than 51 million tons of grain at the crop yield of 3.51 tons per hectare. The gross yield of grain crops comprised more than 2.7 million tons at the crop yield of 3.54 tons per hectare in Mykolayiv region. According to many experts, the potential of grain production considerably exceeds a gross yield of grain crops achieved in 1990.

Since it was established, NIBULON has been gone through all stages of the Ukrainian development, changes in the economic and political situation as well as in the legislation, having showed its capability to survive and to develop stably.
