Oleh Bakhmatyuk, owner of Ukrlandfarming, reported last week that he has shut down 37 companies and let go 13,000 employees. He blamed “unprecedented legal pressure” from Artem Sytnyk, director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Three years ago, he blamed his problems at Ukrlandfarming and Avangardco on then-governor of central bank Valeria Gontareva. It is unclear how real are the troubles of the group, Ukraine’s largest egg producer. However, ptichki.net website reports that wholesale prices of eggs have jumped 73% over the last two months.
