KSG Agro has launched a new phase of its employment program for internally displaced persons at a pig farm in Dnipropetrovsk region, according to the company’s press service.
In early fall 2025, a new phase of the employment program for internally displaced persons (IDPs) from frontline and combat zones began at enterprises belonging to KSG Agro, primarily at a pig farm in Dnipropetrovsk region. In connection with the expansion of production and the creation of new jobs, the agricultural holding is stepping up its efforts to attract displaced persons. Previously, as part of the program during the full-scale war, 24 people had already found work at the pig farm. But now a systematic approach is being implemented, focused on the employment of those who were forced to leave their homes in the east of the country.
According to KSG Agro HR Director Iryna Paliyova, all IDP employees are provided with comfortable, modern company housing with all amenities at the pig farm, necessary work clothes, transportation to work, and free meals in the pig farm cafeteria during the workday.
If necessary, in parallel with their work, displaced employees receive free training tailored to their specific profession from the most experienced professionals at the pig farm. At the same time, the salaries of new employees hired under the program are higher than the market rate.
The KSG Agro IDP employment program is gradually gaining momentum and popularity among displaced persons, who are now finding employment at the pig farm with their entire families. For example, an entire family evacuated from Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast, a city on the front line that is now largely destroyed, depriving its residents of even basic utilities, was recently hired.
Currently, as part of its displaced persons employment program, KSG Agro is most interested in hiring pig farm operators, veterinarians, artificial insemination technicians, disinfectors, and technical service specialists (electricians, repair mechanics, drivers with experience in trucks, power operators for KGU, etc.).
The agricultural holding also invites specialists from the feed mill (technological equipment repair technicians, electricians, repair mechanics, raw material and feed stackers, etc.).
“The IDP employment program not only fully complies with our agricultural holding’s social responsibility strategy, which during wartime consists of ensuring the country’s food security and supporting Ukrainians, but also allows us to replenish our staff with professionals in shortage occupations,” comments Serhiy Kasyanov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of KSG Agro. “We already have positive experience in filling vacancies with the help of displaced persons, so I am confident that in the near future the number of IDPs employed by us will grow exponentially.”
