History

The Company has been operating in the Ukrainian agricultural produce market since 1992, it started with sunflower seed processing at Prikolotnyansky and Volchansky oil-extracting factories. Such activity quickly gained speed; the enterprise’s produce was sold to a wide circle of clients both in Ukraine and abroad.

During eight years, the Group of Companies successfully provided a foothold in the processing market and approached the problem of necessity of its own raw materials. Thus in the year 2001, the first agricultural enterprise was established in Kamenka Village, Dvurechansky District, in which Agroliga Group was cultivating 1,060 hectares of land. In 2002, the planted area increased and achieved 2,760 hectares. During two years, the machines park was renewed by 95 %, and the buildings were renovated.

In 2004, a warehouse complex was purchased in Novaya Vodolaga, where a new elevator was built with yearly storage capacity of 20 thousand tons.

In 2007, the second agricultural enterprise was established in Mechnikovo Village, Dvurechansky District, which increased land under cultivation by 2,770 ha. The total area of land under cultivation now is 5,510 ha. It took less than a year for the enterprise to renovate the machinery and to reconstruct the buildings.

In 2008, a dairy farm was established, the flock of which now exceeds 500 heads. Decision about diversification was taken as a result of analysis of dairy market prospects as an investment object.

In 2009, Agroliga Group completed assembly of an oil mill, which changed status of the Group of Companies. Being an experienced primary producer, the agricultural complex also added an important function of a processer.

For 2010-2012 it has been planned to achieve further increase in productivity of areas under crop in order to provide for full load operation of the oil mill on the basis of own raw materials, and also to create an extensive marketing network, to use raw material processing facilities of neighbouring farming enterprises, to enter new product markets, to extend dairy livestock and improve milk quality on account of farm produced fodder.
