Astarta’s agricultural subsidiaries started the 2023 planting season. Farmers in the Poltava region were the first to begin sowing sugar beet.
After a year of cooperation with the UN World Food Programme (UN WFP), Astarta has become one of its key food suppliers for humanitarian purposes in Ukraine.
Last week, the Ukrainian pavilion opened in the UAE at the Gulfood 2023 international agro-industrial exhibition.
The Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation became one of the partners who helped Ukrainian business to participate in this exhibition.
All-Ukrainian public organization "Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation" together with member organizations of the Ukrainian National Agrarian Forum (UNAF) - Ukrainian Agribusiness Club, All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council, Agrarian Union of Ukraine - appeals to the EU Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (EU Food & Farming), EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council and Copa-Cogeca members organizations with a request to extend the preferential trade conditions between Ukraine and the EU at least till the end of 2024.
Astarta completed the 2022 sugar production season. In total, the сompany’s sugar mills processed c. 2mt of sugar beet grown in-house and from third-party farmers and produced 282kt of white sugar.
The sugar output content corresponded to 14.26% (the average Ukraine’s indicator was 13.98% per “Ukrtsukor”). Traditionally, 99% of sugar produced by Astarta corresponds to the highest quality category.
The 2022 processing season was the best in terms of processed volumes and sugar output compared to the previous two years.
Ukrainian agriculture faces numerous challenges due to logistical problems, the occupation and mining of a large part of the territory, but remains among the world leaders almost a year after the Russian invasion.
The large-scale consequences of the war for agriculture have become profound and will probably continue for several more years, Pavlo Koval, general director of the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation, tells EFE. The beginning of the war "clipped the wings" of the industry, which had been developing rapidly for the past 5–7 years, with a record 106 million tons harvested in 2021.
