(…) We plan to use the harvested grain as ingredients for mixed feed for our pig farm. Part of it will be sold under export contracts,” said Sergey Kasyanov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of KSG Agro.

The agricultural holding specified that during the summer harvest, 18 John Deere and Claas Lexion combine harvesters and 60 trucks were used on KSG Agro’s fields.

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 move from developing a large location to a number of smaller pig farms located in different regions of Ukraine.
