As reported to the agency Interfax-Ukraine Head of the Investor and Media Relations Department Anastasia Sobotyuk, Yuri Melnik, who headed the MHP board during Kosyuk’s absence, will return to his previous position as first deputy chairman of the board.
“Everything is going back to the way it was before July of this year,” she said.
“Myronivsky Hliboproduct” is the largest producer of chicken in Ukraine (TM “Nasha Ryaba”). It is also engaged in the production of grains, sunflower oil, and other food products.
In Crimea, Kosyuk controls the agricultural firm "Friendship of Peoples", which he re-registered according to Russian laws. In Simferopol, on the building of her company store near the station earlier banners appeared in support of the Russian status of Crimea, which caused criticism in the Ukrainian media.
Yuriy Kosyuk is one of the richest people in Ukraine - in 2014, Forbes Ukraine estimated his fortune at $1,3 billion (7th place in the ranking). He earned his capital by engaging in agricultural business. For outstanding services in the development of the agricultural industry, Kosyuk was awarded the title Hero of Ukraine.
