Agrotrade has started sowing winter crops for the 2025 harvest on 27.9 thousand hectares, the company’s press service reports on its Facebook page.
According to the report, the sowing campaign started with winter rapeseed, for which almost 12.5 thou hectares have been allocated in Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and Poltava regions, which is 1.3 thou hectares more than last season.
“The change in the area under winter rapeseed is primarily due to crop rotation requirements. This year, we started the sowing campaign simultaneously in Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions. The work has already gained momentum and will last a total of two weeks. They were preceded by high-quality preparation, such as peeling, plowing, leveling and fertilizing,” said Oleksandr Ovsyanyk, Director of Agrotrade’s Agricultural Department.
Currently, more than 24% of the planned area has been sown with the crop, and 15 units of machinery are involved.
“We will soon start sowing winter wheat, for which Agrotrade has allocated 15.4 thousand hectares,” the agricultural holding summarized.

In the 2023-2024 marketing year (MY), Agrotrade exported more than 390 thsd tonnes of grain, up 10% compared to the previous season, the company’s press service reported on its Facebook page.
According to the report, 51.7% of all exports were the company’s own agricultural products, 48.3% were from third-party producers. The main buyers of grain were the EU, North Africa and the Middle East.
“Summarizing the results of the last season, I would like to note that the opening of the Ukrainian grain corridor and its rhythmic operation made our work much easier. It has added predictability, so we can now plan deliveries for a longer period. This allowed us to export more grain than we had forecast. In the new season, we expect that the company’s trade structure will partially return to the pre-war format – sales on EXW and CPT bases will reappear, and forward contracts will increase, as the market situation stabilizes and competition intensifies,” said Andriy But, Director of Foreign Trade Department of Agrotrade Group.
Among the company’s products, corn, wheat, soybeans, and rapeseed were in the highest demand among buyers. In total, in the 2023/24 season, Agrotrade exported grain to 14 countries.

Agrotrade has completed the spring sowing of spring crops, for which it has allocated more than 30 thousand hectares, the company’s press service posted on Facebook on Wednesday.
According to the report, favorable weather in early spring allowed Agrotrade to start sowing in March, although it had previously started in April. However, due to precipitation, field work had to be suspended for some time, and when it resumed, more machinery had to be used than planned.
“This year, we focused on using our own equipment in the problem areas near the sites of shelling and active hostilities. This allowed us to work efficiently despite limited working hours and problems with satellite navigation. The delay caused by weather conditions did not have a significant impact and did not cause any economic losses, as we had foreseen the possibility of using additional equipment in advance. As a result, we completed the spring sowing campaign even ahead of schedule,” said Oleksandr Ovsyanyk, Director of the Agricultural Department.
According to him, Agrotrade has planted 12.52 thou hectares of sunflower, 8.27 thou hectares of soybeans, 6.4 thou hectares of corn, 3.75 thou hectares of spring wheat, and 230 thou hectares of industrial hemp for the 2014 harvest. Buckwheat and peanuts were also sown for the first time.
