A ndrii Verevskyi is a Ukrainian agricultural tycoon and the founder and chairman of Kernel Holding, one of the country's largest and most important agricultural companies. He started his business in the 1990s, trading grain, and quickly moved into acquiring agricultural assets, such as grain elevators and sunflower oil crushing plants.

Under his leadership, Kernel has grown into a massive, vertically integrated enterprise. It is the world's largest producer and exporter of sunflower oil and a major grain exporter. The company also operates a huge land bank, farming tens of thousands of hectares of Ukrainian farmland, and has its own logistics network, including grain terminals at Black Sea ports. Verevskyi took the company public on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2007. He also served for a time as a member of the Ukrainian parliament. The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine created immense challenges for his business, which is central to the country's agricultural export economy.
