The farms of KSG Agro agricultural holding have completed the sunflower harvesting campaign with a yield of 24 centners per hectare. This was reported by the company's press service with reference to Dmytro Emelchenko, Head of the crop division of the agricultural holding.

The farms that are part of the KSG Agro agricultural holding have completed the sunflower harvesting campaign on an area of 7,360 hectares with a yield of 24 centners per hectare.

"We are pleased with the results of the harvesting campaign, which was helped by the weather conditions with sufficient rainfall. We expected the final yield to be in the range of 23-25 cwt/ha, but in fact we got 24 cwt/ha," comments Dmytro Emelchenko, "This year's harvesting campaign was delayed because we partially used late-sown seeds. We should also mention the results of Apostolivske branch, which for the first time since joining the holding achieved high sunflower yields of 24.5 c/ha."

Along with the sunflower harvesting campaign, the holding's farms sowed winter wheat on an area of 2 thou hectares and rapeseed on an area of 1.5 thou hectares.

"The peculiarity of this year's winter crops was that due to weather conditions we sowed almost dry. Nevertheless, the seedlings received at the end of October are in satisfactory good condition," said the head of the crop production division of the agricultural holding.
