In 2024, TAS Agro agricultural holding achieved financial results of more than $22 million in Net Profit, the company’s CEO Oleg Zapletnyuk said on his Facebook page.
According to him, in 2024, the agricultural holding radically changed its production technology by diversifying its crops by moisture zones and introducing the Strip-Till system with a complete rejection of plowing. In addition, the agricultural holding standardized key processes.
The CEO of TAS Agro recalled that in 2024, $15 million was invested in the renewal of the technical fleet, which made it possible to completely abandon the use of hired equipment (except for combines). This decision made it possible to optimize the number of employees from 1878 to 1540, while the average income increased by 44%.
The agroholding has formed development strategies for the company and its departments for 3 years, implemented a production management system, launched an R&D service, created a service department, started systematically developing livestock and elevator business, and stabilized the land bank.
Mr. Zapletnyuk thanked the team members and partners of the agricultural holding and promised that 2025 would continue to be a year of active changes.

TAS Agro agricultural holding intends to finish the 2024 season with a net profit of more than $18 million, the company’s CEO Oleg Zapletnyuk said in an interview with Forbes Ukraine.
Answering the question why TAS Agro cut its revenue three times to UAH 739 million in nine months and incurred more than UAH 70 million in losses, compared to UAH 150 million in profit last year, Zapletnyuk explained that the drop was due to a change in sales strategy.
“By the end of September 2023, the agricultural holding had sold 70% of the products it produced in 2022. This year, as of November, only 30% of the production has been sold. (…) The sale of the remaining stock will adjust the financial result. (…) The financial result will be positive and much better than last year. Last year, crop production ended the season on the verge of profitability, this year we plan to achieve more than $320 EBITDA per hectare,” said the CEO of TAS Agro.

The agroholding noted that despite abnormally dry conditions in August and the first half of September, the company’s specialists managed to get high-quality winter rapeseed seedlings in all clusters. Winter wheat was sown in a short time.
“Wheat in the crop rotation in 2024 occupies a quarter of the agricultural holding’s area and required concentrated efforts and coordinated work of all departments to ensure timely sowing and root system formation before the onset of cold weather. As of today, the company has received winter crops that are in good and satisfactory condition,” said Oleg Zapletnyuk, CEO of TAS Agro.
The agroholding continues to thresh corn, prepares the soil for the next season and completes the sugar beet harvest. The average corn yield is 8 tons per hectare, which is significantly higher than the national average.

TAS Agro Agro Agro Holding has completed the harvesting of oilseeds in the 2024 season from 34.1 thousand hectares, the yield exceeded the targets for 2024 and was higher than the average for Ukraine, the press service of the agricultural holding reported on its Facebook page.
According to the report, at the end of September, TAS Agro completed sunflower harvesting, harvesting more than 43.6 thousand tons from an area of 17.7 thousand hectares, and soybeans from an area of 16.4 thousand hectares weighing 37.2 thousand tons.
“This year, late summer and early fall were abnormally dry, which had a negative impact on the yield of oilseeds throughout Ukraine. Today, there is a shortage of sunflower seeds on the market, which affects price growth and the overall situation on the agricultural market. In general, we carried out our autumn field work in an extremely narrow time corridor, but we did a great job,” said Oleg Zapletnyuk, CEO of TAS Agro.
Currently, the agricultural holding continues to harvest corn and is completing the sowing of winter wheat on an area of 22.7 hectares.
In addition, in 2024, TAS Agro almost doubled its winter rapeseed sowing, from 8 to 15 thousand hectares. Winter rapeseed has already sprouted and autumn chemical protection measures are underway. The agroholding expects favorable weather and good germination of winter wheat.
Taking into account the experience of 2024, the company will continue to implement the updated strategy, providing the clusters with the necessary amount of new agricultural machinery,” TAS Agro summarized.

“Harvesting started in the best possible time. Teams of specialists are using modern methods and equipment to ensure high harvesting efficiency and minimize losses,” the agricultural holding added.
