Agraine sowed over 27,000 hectares with corn and sunflowers as part of its spring campaign

Agroholding Agraine has completed its 2025 spring sowing campaign, during which it sowed over 27,000 hectares with spring crops, the company’s press service reported on Facebook.

According to the report, corn took up most of the planned area, with 14,000 hectares, and sunflowers took up over 12,000 hectares.

Thanks to moisture retention and thorough soil preparation, the group of companies achieved optimal moisture at the sowing depth. In addition, this year, farmers chose drought-resistant corn and sunflower hybrids, focusing on stable yields despite the lack of rainfall.

“We reduced the density of corn sowing to better adapt to limited moisture. Thanks to the coordinated work of our teams, we were able to complete sowing ahead of schedule,” said Taras Kornienko, chief agronomist of the agricultural holding.

Agrain is engaged in the cultivation and storage of grain and oilseeds, as well as livestock farming. Before the full-scale Russian invasion, the agricultural holding company comprised 11 agricultural enterprises. It cultivated about 110,000 hectares in the Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Odesa, and Cherkasy regions.

The holding company is owned by SAS Investcompagnie (France).
