Agroko LLC (Cherkasy region) has begun construction of a new 800-head dairy barn with a cross-ventilation system, which it plans to complete in 2027, company director Volodymyr Tarandushka said in an interview with United Farmers Ukraine.
“We began construction on May 1, and as of today, the foundation for our future cross-ventilated barn has already been completed. We are building a new cross-ventilated barn for 800 head using modern technology,” he said.
According to Tarandushka, the company plans to build a new 60-stall “carousel-style” milking parlor to serve both the new and existing barns.
Cross-ventilation is intended to ensure a more stable microclimate and reduce heat stress in the animals, which, according to estimates, will help maintain herd productivity during the summer heat.
As Tarandushka noted, the new barn will be the first facility of its kind in the Cherkasy region.
The plan is to initially transfer the most productive herd to it, after which the farm will gradually increase its livestock population.
The plan is to increase milk production from 50 to 75 metric tons per day.
STOV “Agroko” was registered in 2001 in the Cherkasy region. It is engaged in the cultivation of grains, legumes, and oilseeds, the breeding of dairy cattle, and milk production.
The ultimate beneficial owner is Ihor Potapenko.
According to Opendatabot, in 2025, STOV “Agroko” increased its revenue by 31.5%—to 1.079 billion UAH—and its net profit by 35.4%, to 382 million UAH.
