Astarta, Ukraine’s largest sugar producer, reduced its sales volume by 27.4% in October-December 2025 compared to the same period in 2025, and its revenue by 19% due to a significant decline in wheat and sugar sales, which was not offset by revenue growth in the corn, sunflower, and soybean oil segments.
According to data published by the holding on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, in October-December 2025, the company sold a total of UAH 5.16 billion worth of its main products, compared to UAH 6.37 billion in the first half of 2024.

Overall, Astarta showed mixed dynamics in October-December: a significant drop in sales of wheat (-81%) and sugar (-20%) was partially offset by an increase in sales of corn (+46%) and soybean products. Despite the overall decline in prices for grains and sugar, the soybean and oil segment showed growth in average sales prices (by 44% and 17%, respectively), which allowed the agricultural holding to balance its cash inflows.
