WORKING TO EXPAND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN UKRAINE

"Jim and Rubina are dedicated in their work to modernize and expand farming operations so agricultural production can be significantly increased in Ukraine. They believe in the future of agriculture in Ukraine and the role Ukraine can and should play in providing the world with the large amount of additional food that will needed to feed the rapidly expanding population.

"Jim told me during a meeting we had recently in Kyiv that 2008 was his peak year for sales. He said sales dropped considerably in 2009 because of the economic crisis making 2009 a most difficult year but said sales are coming back in 2010. USUBC is very pleased to have Bueling, Inc. as a new member and look forward to working closely with Jim and Rubina as they continue their service in a most promising sector of the Ukrainian economy," Williams noted.
