Agro-Region agricultural holding has completed its 2025 harvest campaign with a record corn yield of 9.64 tons per hectare, according to a Facebook post by the holding’s press service.
Agro-Region stated that the yield indicators for the 2025 season exceeded the planned forecasts. One of the production units, AR Bozna, broke its own yield record and the record of other units, achieving a yield of 11.87 tons/ha.
Yuriy Lysak, chief agronomist of Agro-Region, recalled that 2025 was marked by cool weather conditions: spring started late, and all crops, especially corn, did not receive the necessary amount of heat. That is why the harvest started with a delay of almost two weeks. Despite the increased moisture content of corn, which affected the productivity of elevators, the harvest results, according to the expert, were “truly impressive.”
“Thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as the coordinated work of the agronomic, engineering, and elevator teams, we were able to achieve high results,” Lysak summed up.
Agro-Region agricultural holding owns a land bank of 39,000 hectares in the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, and Khmelnytskyi regions. It specializes in crop production. It consists of 11 companies, which are united into four crop clusters. It has two elevators: Boryspil with a capacity of 73,000 tons and Myropil with a capacity of 52,000 tons.
Agro-Region’s annual harvest of grain and oilseeds is 200,000 tons.
In April 2021, the Swedish company Lobiu Sala AB, owned by former Ukrainian Economy Minister Aivaras Abromavičius, received permission from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to purchase the Swedish company Agro Region Stockholm Holding, which manages the Agro-Region group of companies in Ukraine.
Ukrainian cities received 107 trolleybuses in 2025, 75 of which were new, compared to 34 trolleybuses (28 new) in 2024, according to AllTransUA.
“2025 was the year of recovery for the trolleybus market in Ukraine, and although the figures are still lower than deliveries from 2014 to 2021, Ukrainian cities received 107 trolleybuses, which is a record during the full-scale war with Russia. The lion’s share is made up of new trolleybuses (75 units), most of which (66 units) were purchased in cooperation with international financial organizations (IFOs). In 2024, many agreements were signed, which began to be implemented in 2025,” the website said.
In general, according to AllTransUA’s data, last year, Khmelnytskyi (30 units) and Mykolaiv (24 units) received the most new trolleybuses funded by IFOs. Eight trolleybuses were also delivered to Kremenchuk and four to Ivano-Frankivsk.
According to experts, in 2025, the market for new trolleybuses was dominated almost equally by Etalon (manufacturer – Chernihiv Automobile Plant) and PTS (Politechnoservice), covering 91% of the market, while the rest of the supply was covered by Lviv-based Electron (5%) and the Litan trading house (Dnipro brand, 4%), which manufactured trolleybuses for the first time in several years.
In particular, Electron began deliveries to Ivano-Frankivsk, and Litan manufactured trolleybuses for Mykolaiv in Belarusian MAZ bodies, completing the delivery of a batch that was interrupted by the start of a full-scale invasion.
“The question of the origin of the bodies remains open: it is unknown whether they arrived in Ukraine before 2022 or were obtained later through indirect channels,” the report states.
Only Chernihiv (three Etalon T121 Barvinok trolleybuses) and Chernivtsi (six PTS T123 trolleybuses) received new trolleybuses at public expense.
The main recipient of used trolleybuses was Kharkiv, which received 26 Škoda trolleybuses of various models. Rivne purchased four Solaris Trollio trolleybuses from Lublin, and Ivano-Frankivsk received the last Gräf & Stift from Austria.
The city of Dnipro also replaced one YMZ T1 trolleybus body with an unused body from the 1990s (there are three such vehicles in the city in total).
“In 2026, we expect continued revenue under existing agreements within the framework of cooperation with IFIs, both as the completion of deliveries already underway (in particular, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kremenchuk) and deliveries to other cities, in particular Lutsk, Ternopil, and Chernivtsi,” the report says.
According to AllTransUA, in 2024, the market received the smallest number of trolleybuses since 2009, and compared to 2023, deliveries fell by a third.
In pre-war 2021, Ukrainian cities purchased 170 trolleybuses, and in 2020, 337.
