Astarta, Ukraine’s largest sugar producer, has purchased 10 light tractors worth approximately UAH 16 million for livestock farming, the company’s press service reported on Monday.
According to the report, the equipment will be used primarily in feeding, cleaning, and logistics processes at production sites to improve the regularity of processes and reduce the cost of milk production.
“We expect that the upgrade of equipment will improve operational discipline and ensure more predictable and stable production results,” said Yaroslav Kushnir, director of Astarta’s livestock department.
The agricultural holding company noted that, in total, Astarta allocated approximately $22 million in 2025 to upgrade its technical fleet in key production areas as part of a comprehensive program of modernization and transition to energy-efficient solutions.
Astarta is a vertically integrated agro-industrial holding operating in eight regions of Ukraine. It includes six sugar factories, agricultural enterprises with a land bank of 220,000 hectares and dairy farms with 22,000 head of cattle, an oil extraction plant in Hlobine (Poltava region), seven elevators, and a biogas complex.
According to the results of 2025, Astarta reduced its total revenue from sales of key product categories by 15.6% compared to 2024, to UAH 21.05 billion, while physical sales volumes of its main products fell by 23.5%, to 1.21 million tons.
