Mr. Corn enters the court

2022 is another year in which Bioagra supports children and youth by funding prizes in tennis tournaments played at the Nysa courts. Competition participants receive prizes that are useful for practicing this sport, as well as fruit delicacies.

Continuation of support, by Bioagra among others, and a further increase in interest in tennis brings very tangible results. 40 young tennis players from Nysa, Opole and Kędzierzyn-Koźle participated in the recently held Nysa Mayor’s Cup. This means that the number of participants increased year-to-year from a dozen to several dozen players.

– It is unusual that the tournaments in Nysa are free, there is no so-called entry fee – says Monika Chudzińska from the Nysa Tennis School. – Our goal is to instill in children the willingness to practice tennis and attract all generations to the courts. We create a kind of tennis family together. Children play on the court, parents are involved in refereeing while grandparents and siblings cheer.

As coaches from the UKS Nyska Tennis School claim, even five-year-olds can learn to play. Children learn tennis naturally by imitating, repeating and remembering good habits. The hand-eye coordination developed on the courts is of great importance in the psychophysical development of children.

As in the previous year, Bioagra supports all tournaments in the “Nysa Grand Slam” series, organized by the UKS Nysa Tennis School and the District Office in Nysa, as well as a tournament for the Nysa Mayor’s Cup. The courts are made available free of charge by NTKKF Metalowiec.

The games are played on the basis of the rules of the “Play and Stay” program developed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). For example less bouncy balls that are slower than standard balls are being used during the matches. Thanks to this, it is easier for children to serve and play the ball and earn points from the very first class.

According to ITF research, playing tennis results in:
– improving overall health and well-being,
– improvement in overall physical fitness and flexibility,
– reducing the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease and diabetes,
– improving decision-making and problem-solving skills.

Tennis is one of the best amateur sports that allows you to maintain a healthy and athletic figure at any age.

Bioagra at the Nysa Beach Volleyball Championships 2022

Bioagra supports the Nysa Beach Volleyball Championship for the second time. This year, each Saturday, the beautiful beach in Skorochów turns again into a place of sports competition at the highest level.

Last year’s edition of the Nysa Beach Volleyball Championship was very popular among participants and fans. It revived the regional interest in this dynamic and spectacular sport. Virtually every qualifying round has a full pool of teams, including players known from the 1st-league and PlusLiga courts, coming from the region and from various parts of the country, with some even coming from abroad. This shows the high sports and organizational level of the event, which is emphasized by the athletes themselves.

The championship consists of a series of qualifying tournaments with a total prize pool of PLN 10 000. The top 15 pairs from the qualifying round will qualify for the grand finale, and they will fight for an additional prize pool of a total of PLN 12 000.

In addition, the organizers prepared the so-called “Wild card” – one additional place for a team that does not meet the formal conditions for participation in the final, but promises a high sports level.

The matches played as part of the tournament can be watched live from the stands and on the Internet, on the official channel of the event organizer – the Beach Volley Nysa Volleyball Club.

New Year 2022 – illumination

For several years, Bioagra has been illuminating the Ethanol Production Plant with occasional illuminations addressed to the local community and people traveling by the Nysa bypass.

This year, the company placed New Year’s greetings on the cogeneration building and on the electronic boards of the new logistics system, which reduced the volume of vehicle traffic around the company.

Mr. Corn is waving from the building where electricity and useful heat are produced for the plant in the so-called cogeneration plant. It is an extremely economical and ecological way of generating energy.

 
In the classic solution, electricity and heat are generated separately in the power plant and heating plant. Cogeneration is the production of both of these types of energy in the same process. This allows achieving a 30 percent higher efficiency and translates into significant economic and environmental benefits.

Christmas greetings from Bioagra

As every year, Mr. Kukurydza wishes Happy Holidays to drivers passing by the Ethanol Production Plant. This year, we placed the Christmas greetings on the electronic boards of the new logistics system, which reduced the volume of vehicle traffic around the company.

For several years, Bioagra has illuminated the Ethanol Production Plant with occasional illuminations, greeting the local community and travelers by the Nysa bypass. On behalf of the company, Christmas wishes come from Mr. Kukurydza, who this year also appeared on the information boards of the new logistics system.

– This is our proprietary solution that improved the movement of vehicles around the company, as requested by the local community – said Mirosław Obarski of Bioagra SA. – The queues of vehicles with grain, which lined up during the maize harvest on the access road to the plant, have practically disappeared.

The new logistics system has also significantly improved the working conditions of drivers and farmers delivering maize for production. The investment in the system included the creation of an extensive IT part that controls vehicle traffic and a number of infrastructure modifications. For example, an additional entrance to the plant was opened, a section of the road was added and the parking lot for trucks was modified. The total cost of the solution totals to over PLN 5 million.

The improvement of the process of receiving grain and receiving finished products was introduced despite numerous difficulties resulting from the next year of the company’s operation in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
