The agricultural enterprise “TAS Agro Pivnich,” part of the “TAS Agro” agricultural holding, has launched its 2026 spring planting campaign, the company’s director, Serhiy Zinenko, announced on Facebook.
According to the report, approximately 13,000 hectares have been allocated for spring crops in the 2026 season. Due to the restructuring of the crop rotation, the focus is on row crops: sunflowers will occupy 10,000 hectares, and corn—3,000 hectares. Currently, the first hectares have already been sown with sunflowers, with liquid complex fertilizers (LCF) applied simultaneously.
The agricultural holding noted that despite the prolonged frosts, snow, and rain, work began according to schedule.
“We clearly understand what we are doing and why. In such conditions, it is important not to lose momentum and to trust the team. Planting is always about responsibility, and this year it is felt especially strongly,“ Zinenko emphasized.
The ”TAS Agro” agricultural holding planted a total of about 40,000 hectares with spring crops in the 2025 season. At that time, 16,000 hectares were allocated for sunflowers, 15,000 hectares for soybeans, and 7,000 hectares for corn. In addition, the company grew industrial hemp (160 hectares) on a trial basis but decided against growing sugar beets.
According to Oleg Zapletnyuk, CEO of “TAS Agro,” the modernization of the machinery fleet and the recruitment of in-house staff allowed the company to sow up to 2,300 hectares per day last year.
The “TAS Agro” agricultural holding was established in 2014. It cultivates approximately 80,000 hectares across six regions of Ukraine. Its specialization is crop production and dairy farming (cattle herd—5,500 head). Elevator capacity totals 250,000 tons. The founder of the TAS Group and beneficiary of the agricultural holding is Serhiy Tihipko.
