What Vitagro does

Vitagro is a privately held Ukrainian diversified agricultural holding company headquartered in Volochysk, Khmelnytsky region, operating across 12 integrated business lines that span crop cultivation, horticulture, livestock, processing, and renewable energy. The holding cultivates approximately 85,000 hectares of grain, oilseed, and fodder crops across the Khmelnytsky, Rivne, and Ternopil regions of Western Ukraine, producing 370,000+ tonnes of harvest annually. Its livestock operations include a TOP-10 dairy enterprise with 5,984 Holstein cows producing 22,000+ tonnes of milk per year, a TOP-5 pig complex with 8,300 sows and 145,000+ total head using Canadian Genesus genetics, and automated broiler poultry facilities. The company ranks among TOP-15 latifundists in Ukraine and TOP-5 in orchards and pig farming.

Vitagro's processing and storage infrastructure includes a CIMBRIA-equipped seed production plant (8-10 tonnes/hour), oil extraction facilities processing 500 tonnes of sunflower and 400 tonnes of rapeseed per day, a Buhler AG/Van Aarsen compound feed mill, and three elevator complexes totaling 174,000 tonnes of storage capacity. A wholly owned renewable energy subsidiary, VIT ENERGY, operates four solar power stations with 12.9 MW capacity. The holding exports 70% of production across 17 country destinations spanning the EU, Baltic States, Black Sea ports, Persian Gulf, and East Asia, with the remaining 30% serving domestic food processors, retail chains (branded apples under VITAGRO brand), and partner farmers through elevator services. SGS observational audit certification on the oil-press facility supports European-standard export compliance.

The holding employs over 5,000 specialists across all business areas and is led by CEO Petro Labaziuk. Revenue is generated through commodity grain and oilseed sales, processed oil and feed products, livestock and dairy product sales, elevator storage fees, and branded retail produce. The go-to-market model is direct B2B sales to international trading partners, food processing companies, and major retail chains at undisclosed quote-based pricing. Recent strategic activity includes the 2023 oil extraction plant expansion, the 2026 corporate rebranding consolidating VITAGRO Agro under a unified brand system, and a June 2026 partnership with Croatian producers for operational experience exchange.
