                      Ukraine used to be a important mustard seed producer, but there’s a risk that growers will struggle to plant seeds this year

                      The war in Ukraine has not only disrupted numerous lives, sending millions of people fleeing the war-torn country, but it is disrupting business models, too. Marne Mosterd, a food company known for its range of mustards available in some Dutch supermarkets, is a case in point. Before the conflict in eastern Europe, the company used to produce 15 thousand tons of mustard a year, RTV Noord reports. However, it has recently had to shut down as much as 30 percent of production because it just cannot get enough mustard seed, the most important ingredient of its products.

                      The Groningen company imports about two thirds of the mustard seed for its production line from Ukraine. The rest is bought in Canada. Russia’s invasion has paralyzed Ukrainian agriculture and logistical network: a large part of the seed purchased in Ukraine cannot be transported to the Netherlands. It is locked up in a warehouse in the northeastern city of Chernihiv, not far from Kyiv.

                      “In addition, there is also less mustard seed available in Canada, because less has been sown and the harvest was disappointing,” says Paul de Vries, director of Marne Mosterd. As Ukraine’s vast farmlands get caught up in war, there’s a real risk that mustard seed growers will struggle to plant seeds this year, he believes. “Ukraine is unlikely to sow anything this year. So next year we’ll be facing a real problem,” de Vries warns.

                      The best solution, according to the business leader, is to grow mustard seed domestically. “Next year, farmers in the Netherlands will plant about 250 hectares of mustard seed, which is about half percent of the total requirement. Cultivation here is more expensive and planting mustard involves more risks than other crops. But work is being done on new varieties with improved quality and yields,” he says.

                      In the meantime, the average price of a mustard jar in supermarkets has shot up by 25 percent, and projections indicate the permanence of those higher prices over time.

                      Гронінгенська компанія переглядає свою бізнес-модель, у той час як війна спричиняє занепокоєння щодо дефіциту поставок

                      Війна в Україні не лише підірвала життя багатьох людей, змусивши мільйони тікати з охопленої війною країни, а й порушила існуючі бізнес-моделі. Показовим прикладом є Marne Mosterd – харчова компанія, відома своїм асортиментом гірчиці, який доступний у деяких нідерландських супермаркетах. До конфлікту у Східній Європі компанія виробляла 15 тисяч тонн гірчиці на рік, повідомляє RTV Noord. Однак нещодавно компанії довелося зупинити аж 30% виробництва, оскільки вона просто не може отримати достатньо поставок насіння гірчиці, найважливішого інгредієнта її продукції.

                      Гронінгенська компанія імпортує з України близько двох третин насіння гірчиці для своєї виробничої лінії. Решту насіння купують у Канаді. Вторгнення Росії паралізувало українське сільське господарство та логістичну мережу: значну частину закупленого в Україні насіння неможливо транспортувати до Нідерландів. Це насіння закрите на складі в північно-східному місті Чернігові, розташованому неподалік від Києва.

                      “Крім того, у Канаді наразі також менше насіння гірчиці, тому що його було менше посіяно, а урожай виявився невдалим”, – каже Пол де Фріс, директор Marne Mosterd. Оскільки величезні сільськогосподарські угіддя України охоплені війною, існує реальний ризик того, що виробники гірчиці цього року не зможуть посіяти насіння, вважає він. “Навряд чи Україна цього року щось сіятиме. Тож наступного року ми зіткнемося зі справжньою проблемою”, – попереджає де Фріс.

                      Найкращим рішенням, на думку керівника підприємства, є вирощування гірчиці усередині країни. “Наступного року фермери в Нідерландах висадять близько 250 гектарів насіння гірчиці, що становить близько половини відсотка від загальних потреб. Культивувати гірчицю тут дорожче, і її посадка несе більше ризиків, ніж посадка інших сільськогосподарських культур. Але ведеться робота над новими сортами з покращеною якістю та врожайністю”, – каже він.

                      Тим часом середня ціна гірчиці в супермаркетах зросла на 25%, і прогнози вказують на те, що такі вищі ціни стануть постійними.
