Bunge sunflower oil facility suspends operations after Russian attack

Part of Bunge’s sunflower oil facility in Dnipro was damaged in a Russian attack on the city on September 10, 2026, and the plant has suspended operations, Bunge Ukraine said.

No employees were injured in the attack, the company added. “We will continue to monitor the situation and assess its further developments,” Bunge Ukraine said.

Russian forces launched two attacks on Dnipro on September 10. The strike damaged a food-processing facility and triggered a fire, killing two people and injuring five others, including a child, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service and the regional military administration.

Ukraine’s Air Force had warned of loitering munitions known as “Banderol” heading toward Dnipropetrovsk region. Explosions were reported in Dnipro at around 09:08 local time.

Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov said the facility hit was Bunge’s sunflower oil plant, which has been targeted repeatedly. He stressed that the facility is owned by the US-based agribusiness company Bunge. The plant produces sunflower oil sold under the Oleina brand in Ukraine.

Bunge has operated in Ukraine since 2002 and is one of the country’s major grain and sunflower oil producers.
