Agro-Region agricultural holding has started spring field work, its press service reported on Facebook.
“All clusters have started working, in particular, we are leveling the main tillage method – ‘moisture closure’. Crops have resumed vegetation, we are monitoring their condition to further develop care measures and monitor for pests,” said Yuriy Lysak, chief agronomist of the agricultural holding.
He noted that over the past five years, there has been a lack of moisture reserves in the one-meter soil layer. The main reason is insufficient precipitation in the fall and winter.
“In particular, from September 1, 2024, to March 1, 2025, less than 200 mm fell, although in the best years 360-400 mm fell. The situation was similar in 2020 and 2022. This is not critical for the company, because we know how to act in such situations,” the expert summarized.
Agro-Region owns a land bank of 39 thou hectares in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr and Khmelnytsky regions. It specializes in crop production. It consists of 11 companies organized into four crop production clusters. It has two elevators – Boryspil elevator with a capacity of 73 thousand tons and Miropil elevator with a capacity of 52 thousand tons.
Agro-Region’s annual harvest of grains and oilseeds is 200 thousand tons.
In April 2021, the Swedish company Lobiu Sala AB, owned by former Minister of Economy of Ukraine Aivaras Abromavičius, received permission from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to buy the Swedish Agro Region Stockholm Holding, which manages the Agro-Region group of companies in Ukraine.
