KSG Agro’s shares rose by 60.7% in 2025, allowing the company to enter the top three leaders in terms of market capitalization growth among Ukrainian agricultural companies. This was reported by the holding’s press service, citing data from the investment company Eavex Capital.
According to the report, KSG Agro’s share growth in 2025 significantly exceeded the average market dynamics. The agricultural holdings Kernel and IMC also entered the TOP 3 leaders in this indicator.
The growth in capitalization occurred against the backdrop of an improvement in the company’s operating performance. In particular, in the first half of 2025, the holding’s revenue increased by 20.2%. In the pig farming segment, based on the results of January-September 2025, revenue from the sale of live pigs increased by 48.3%, and operating profit for this period increased by more than 37%.
“The growth in revenue and operating performance in 2025 demonstrates that our vertical integration strategy and pig herd renewal program are working effectively even in extraordinary wartime conditions,” said Sergey Kasyanov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of KSG Agro.
The vertically integrated holding company KSG Agro is engaged in pig farming, 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 January-September 2025, KSG Agro received $5.96 million in operating profit and $6.92 million in gross profit, which is 68% and 31% more than in the same period of 2024.
Pluralis B.V., an impact investment fund managed by the American Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF), invested UAH 9.98 million and UAH 9.42 million as part of an increase in the authorized capital of UP Media Plus LLC and UP Media LLC, thereby becoming the owner of 13% of the Ukrainska Pravda (UP) publication.
According to data from YouControl, the contributions of the founder and head of the Dragon Capital investment group, Tomas Fiala, remained unchanged at UAH 66.79 million and UAH 63.01 million, respectively, so his share decreased from 100% to 87%.
Fiala previously noted that after Pluralis entered the capital, representatives of the fund would also join the supervisory body that would be created with them.
“Their investment is through a supplementary issue. This means that it is an injection into the company itself, not a cash-out,” the owner of UP emphasized in an interview with Forbes Business Breakfast with Volodymyr Fedorin.
According to Fiala, UP is valued at “millions of dollars”: it has grown, but not significantly – by several tens of percent – since he bought a 100% stake in May 2021.
He added that he is counting on the help of the Pluralis B.V. fund in attracting additional investments in UP. According to the media owner, it is still too early to talk about the possibility of exiting these investments, perhaps in five to seven years.
Ukrainska Pravda is one of the country’s leading independent media outlets. It was founded in 2000 and writes about politics, society, economics, sports, technology, and international events, focusing primarily on digital platforms. According to the publication, its nationwide audience exceeds 15 million readers.
In May 2021, UP’s founding editor Alona Prytula and Fiala signed an agreement under which 100% of the corporate rights to the publication and all its assets were transferred to Dragon Capital. In 2025, they were re-registered directly to Fiala.
Fiala, a Czech citizen, also owns the NV media holding, which includes the magazine, portal, and radio station of the same name, but UP and NV operate independently of each other. After the purchase of UP, an agreement on editorial independence was signed between the new owner and the publication.
According to YouControl, in the first nine months of 2025, UP Media Plus’s revenue grew by 54.0% to UAH 73.1 million, while its net loss decreased by 20.2% to UAH 24.8 million. The company’s assets at the end of this period amounted to UAH 27.3 million.
UP Media received UAH 0.2 million in revenue for nine months of last year, with a net loss of UAH 4.6 million, which roughly corresponds to the figures for the same period in 2024. Its assets as of September 30, 2025, amounted to UAH 37.6 million.
Pluralis B.V. is a Dutch company headquartered in Amsterdam. The company’s shareholders, investors, and partners include a group of leading European media companies, democracy support funds, and impact investors, including the King Baudouin Foundation, Tinius Trust, Oak Foundation, Mediahuis, Erste Bank, Media Development Investment Fund, and SEDF, as well as other impact investors and family offices.
Dragon Capital is one of Ukraine’s largest investment groups, with nearly 30 years of experience in the country’s investment and financial services sector.
