"Royal Taste" Halts Production Due to Lighting Issues
The Ukrainian company "Royal Taste," a manufacturer of sunflower oil, mayonnaise, and sauces, is halting production due to power outages and the threat of shelling. The company is also ceasing the purchase of oilseeds and reducing its workforce.
The Ukrainian company "Royal Taste" has announced a forced halt to the production of sunflower oil, mayonnaise, and sauces. According to the company's press service director, Gennady Tertych, this decision is due to a critical situation with electricity supply and the constant threat of missile and drone attacks.
He explained that the frequent power outages prevent the stable operation of the company, and the threat of shelling creates additional risks for employees. Currently, the company is completing the shipment of already produced goods and stopping production processes.
The company representative noted that the most difficult aspect of this situation is that they are forced to leave people without jobs. "Many people have worked with us for years, and we understand that each employee has a family," added Tertichny. According to Opendatabot, the company had 1419 employees registered in 2026. The exact number of people who will be affected by the layoffs is not yet known. The company has not yet specified for how long it will suspend production, or whether it plans to resume operations after the situation with electricity supply and security is stabilized.
