Continental Farmers Group

What Continental Farmers Group does

Continental Farmers Group (CFG) is a privately held, vertically integrated agricultural holding company operating across five western Ukrainian oblasts (Ternopil, Lviv, Khmelnytsky, Chernivtsi, and Ivano-Frankivsk). Formed in June 2019 through the merger of MRIYA Agroholding and CFG, the group farms approximately 190,000 hectares of agricultural land and produces more than 1 million tons of grain and oilseeds annually, including corn, wheat, barley, soybeans, rapeseed, and sunflower. The company employs more than 2,500 professionals across crop production, potato operations, grain storage, seed processing, and trading.

The group's core infrastructure spans six grain elevators (603,000 tons) and three drying-storage complexes (31,000 tons) for 634,000 tons of total storage capacity, two seed processing plants at Khorostkiv and Batyatychi producing 420 tons/day at 99.8% purity, and a potato business with 106,200 tons of storage and a Tovstenke starch plant. Continental operates 350 owned hopper railcars for in-house logistics and runs the Continental Trading division out of Geneva and Bucharest for direct CIF/CFR exports to global buyers. The company holds GMP+, ISCC, and Donau Soja certifications, supplying non-GMO and sustainability-certified soybeans into European protein markets.

CFG is wholly owned by SALIC (Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company), itself a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. In July 2026, SALIC announced the merger of CFG into Olam Agri — the global agribusiness platform in which SALIC had increased its stake to 80.01% in April 2026 for approximately SAR 7 billion — as part of a broader strategy to integrate its agricultural portfolio. CFG generates revenue primarily through commodity sales (one-time transactional), grain storage services to third-party farmers, seed sales, and international grain/oilseed trading on transaction-fee economics, with no public pricing disclosed and prices indexed to daily market rates via a Telegram channel.

Regional players

• EPIC Agro (Epicentr Agrio): Large Ukrainian agricultural holding focused on grain production, storage, and export. Comparable to CFG in Ukrainian land bank operations, elevator network, and grain trading from Ukraine to global markets.

Direct peers

• Kernel Holding: Ukraine's largest grain exporter and one of the world's leading producers of sunflower oil. Comparable to CFG in its vertically integrated Ukrainian grain origination, storage, and export operations, with similar exposure to Black Sea export logistics and global commodity trade.
• Olam Agri: Global agricultural commodities trader and processor (cotton, grains, oilseeds, rice, edible oils) that SALIC is merging CFG into. CFG's grain origination, elevator network, and rail/logistics platform will integrate directly with Olam Agri's global supply chain.
• UkrLandFarming: One of the largest agricultural holdings in Ukraine and Europe, with grain, livestock, and sugar production. Comparable to CFG in scale of Ukrainian land bank, grain origination, and vertically integrated operations.
• Astarta-Kyiv: Large Ukrainian agro-industrial holding with grain, sugar, soybean, and livestock operations. Comparable in crop production scale and processing orientation, with similar land bank and Ukrainian grain origination.
• MHP (Myronivsky Hliboproduct): Ukraine's leading poultry producer and one of the country's largest grain producers. Overlapping operations in Ukrainian grain farming and grain handling/storage infrastructure, plus vertically integrated food production.
• Nibulon: Major Ukrainian grain trader and producer with its own fleet of barges and vessels, plus inland elevators. Directly comparable to CFG's vertical-integration field-to-port strategy, including own logistics fleet, elevator network, and global commodity trading.

Broad incumbents

• Cargill: Global agribusiness giant in grain origination, processing, and trading. Comparable to CFG in grain supply chain activities and exposure to global commodity markets, with substantially greater scale and geographic reach.
• Bunge Limited: Global agribusiness leader in oilseed processing and grain trading. Comparable to CFG in oilseed (soybean, rapeseed, sunflower) origination and global commodity handling, with broader downstream processing capabilities.
