In 2010, Kernel became the biggest producer and exporter of sunflower oil in the country. In 2012, it accounted for 12% of world's sunflower oil exports.

Verevskyi took the company public in Warsaw in 2007. Since then, Verevskyi has been buying back shares, going from 38.05% to over a 95% stake in 2025, initiating a de-listing process.

In 2002, Verevskyi was elected to Ukraine's Parliament; he changed 4 party factions and acted as an advisor to the prime minister before leaving politics in 2013.

Kernel was founded in 2004 by combining several agricultural companies. At the outset, the company was in the grain exports business; it gradually grew into an agricultural and food processing group.
