The TAS Agro agricultural holding has begun harvesting early grains from winter wheat in the Southern cluster and has already threshed about 600 hectares, the agricultural holding’s press service reported on Facebook.
TAS Agro specified that the harvest started at the optimal time and that grain yields are fully in line with standards.
“This year, we will make maximum use of our own equipment, which has been updated in recent years. However, we will not refuse to lease combines for economic reasons. In total, we plan to use 75 units of grain harvesting equipment during the harvest. This is more than last year, as the area under early grain crops has increased, particularly in the Southern cluster. Almost all of our own grain transshipment equipment will also be used,” said Oleg Zapletnyuk, CEO of TAS Agro.
According to him, in parallel with the harvesting campaign, the agricultural holding is working on organizing logistics and sales of the harvested crop. Storage facilities and some elevators have already been certified to the international standard ISO 22000:2018.
For the 2025 harvest, TAS Agro has sown 22,000 hectares of winter wheat, 14,000 hectares of winter rapeseed, 16,000 hectares of sunflower, 15,000 hectares of soybeans, and 7,000 hectares of corn.
Soon, in the Southern cluster, parallel to the wheat harvest, the rapeseed harvest will begin. Over the next few weeks, the harvest will spread to other clusters, the agricultural holding concluded.
