According to the report, winter barley was harvested on 562 hectares, winter wheat on 3,700 hectares, and spring barley on 699 hectares.
“Excessive moisture negatively affected the quality of part of the wheat crop; however, thanks to the coordinated efforts of our production teams, we were able to organize the process in such a way as to make the most efficient use of every weather window for harvesting the grain,” the press service quoted Vitaliy Nekhay, head of the crop production division, as saying.
The company reported that 12 Claas Lexion 480 and 560 combine harvesters were used during the harvest, along with up to 30 trucks to transport the crop.
As previously reported, the agricultural holding KSG Agro intends to invest over 25 million UAH in creating an autonomous water supply system for one of its pig farms and plans to fully supply it with water from its own sources by the end of 2026.
KSG Agro is a vertically integrated holding company engaged in pig farming, as well as the production, storage, processing, and sale of grains and oilseeds. The company’s land bank in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson regions totals approximately 21,000 hectares. The agricultural holding is among the top five largest pork producers in Ukraine.
Serhiy Kasyanov remains the ultimate beneficiary of the holding company; through Olbis Investment LTD SA, he owns 47.83% of the shares, while 47.57% of the shares are freely traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
The agricultural holding “Continental Farmers Group” has begun its winter crop planting campaign for the 2027 harvest, with winter rapeseed as the first crop; the company plans to allocate 32,000 hectares for it, according to its press service.
In total, the company is allocating 95,200 hectares for winter crops in 2027. In addition to rapeseed, the crop mix includes 49,900 hectares of winter wheat and 13,300 hectares of winter barley.
“Sowing of grain crops will begin on schedule in early September, after the fields have been cleared of previous crops. We have traditionally developed our operational plans based on a proven balance in the crop mix,” the agricultural holding’s press service quoted Chief Operating Officer Kostyantyn Shytiuk as saying.
It is noted that the planting season began at the typical time seen in recent years and is proceeding under favorable agroclimatic conditions. Thanks to sufficient soil moisture, most divisions expect to see good emergence of winter rapeseed, and the main planting will take place during the first and second decades of August.
As previously reported, the agricultural holding “Continental Farmers Group” (CFG) has joined the global structure of the international agri-food company Olam Agri as a separate business unit.
“Continental Farmers Group” was established in November 2018 as a result of the merger between the ‘Mriya’ agricultural holding and CFG, following “Mriya’s” agreement with international investor Salic UK regarding the sale of its assets.
Continental Farmers Group operates in the Ternopil, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, and Chernivtsi regions, grows grain and oilseed crops, engages in primary and secondary potato processing, and employs approximately 2,600 people.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the Republic of Turkey will tighten phytosanitary controls on the import, export, re-export, and transit of plants and plant products, including wheat, effective August 4, 2026, according to the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection (Derzhprodsposhchivsluzhba).
The tightening of requirements is related to Turkey’s adoption of a new Plant Quarantine Regulation, which repeals the previous Quarantine Regulation.
“Since wheat imported into the Republic of Turkey serves as a host plant for harmful organisms such as Tilletia barclayana, Tilletia indica, Tilletia caries, Tilletia controversa, and Tilletia laevis (Tilletia foetida), the Republic of Turkey has strengthened controls to detect these harmful organisms in wheat shipments,” the statement said.
If these pests are detected, Ukrainian exporters will be denied a phytosanitary certificate pursuant to Article 46 of Ukraine’s Law “On Plant Quarantine.”
