KSG Agro doubled its revenue from pig farming to $7.1 mln in first half of year

29 August , 2025  

In January-June 2025, the KSG Agro agricultural holding doubled its revenue from the sale of pig farming products compared to the same period last year, to $7.1 million, according to the agricultural holding’s press service.

“The increase in revenue from the sale of pig products was made possible by our focus on a vertical integration strategy, which we began to implement long before the full-scale war. During wartime, a vertically integrated business is more resilient because we can effectively diversify risks. We grow grain crops, process them into mixed feed at our own plant, and fatten pigs. All of the pork produced goes to the domestic market, thus ensuring Ukraine’s food security during the war,” said Serhiy Kasyanov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of KSG Agro.

As reported, in 2025, KSG Agro implemented a program to rejuvenate the livestock at its own pig farm. In June-July of this year, the herd was replenished with 500 purebred breeding sows from Danish Pig Genetics from the supplier Breeders of Denmark A/S (Denmark). As a result, KSG Agro will renew its pig herd this year with 4,000 of the most stable, highly productive F-1 hybrid sows.

The vertically integrated holding KSG Agro is engaged in pig breeding, as well as the production, storage, processing, and sale of grain and oilseeds. Its land bank in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson regions is about 21,000 hectares.

According to KSG Agro, it is one of the top five pork producers in Ukraine. In 2023, the agricultural holding began implementing a “network-centric” strategy, under which it will transition from developing a large location to a number of smaller pig farms located in different regions of Ukraine.
