In 2025, Tekom Agro Group increased its land bank by 1,270,000 hectares, bringing its total area to more than 26,000 hectares, the company’s press service reported on Facebook.
Sergey Shtyrbulov, deputy head of the agricultural association for production, noted that in 2025, winter crops, in particular rapeseed, barley, wheat, and peas, occupied 80% of all areas, while 20% of the areas were allocated for sunflowers and lentils.
“We are already planning to sow lentils, sunflowers, and a new crop for us — flax. It will be sown in the Chernomorets division and partly in the north. In the spring, as soon as we conduct a survey of the meter-deep soil layer and find out the amount of precipitation, we will make a decision on crop rotation. If there is up to 100 mm of precipitation, we will most likely exclude sunflowers. However, this will allow us to expand the area under flax and lentils,” said Shtyrbulov.
According to him, the condition of winter crops in the agricultural association is currently assessed as satisfactory, and in some places better than satisfactory.
According to Shebulov, Tekom Agro Group began implementing Verti-till technology in 2025, which helped reduce cultivation costs by approximately $1 million. In fields where conventional tillage was used, yields were half those achieved with Verti-till.
