This sector is represented by ten enterprises in Khmel’nytsky and Chernivtsy regions specializing in growing cereals, technical, industrial and oil crops (wheat, barley, sugar beets, corn, sunflower, soy, rape, rye, oats, peas, mustard, poppy, etc.).
An important objective of the sector is providing the livestock breeding branch with own-made feed: meliot, lutserne, winter ruttishness mixed with winter vetch, ryegrass, corn, nut, etc.
There is tendency of yield growth due to the usage of modern machinery and up-to-date processing technologies.
Corporation's wide geographical activity allows using technical potential with maximum efficiency. The temperature diversity makes it possible to begin farming operations in Chernivtsy earlier than in Khmelnitsky.
