Astarta continues to publicly report on its operating and financial performance. Consolidated revenues for the first half of 2025 totalled EUR227m, with EUR138m coming from exports, accounting for 61% of the total.
Agricultural Production
The current season was marked by several climate-related challenges, including insufficient rainfall across much of the country, spring frosts, localized hailstorms, and prolonged rainfall in the western regions — all of which affected crop development and harvesting timelines. Nevertheless, with careful planning, prompt deployment of equipment, and coordinated efforts of Astarta’s agronomy and production teams, the Company completed timely harvesting.
As of today, the harvesting campaign for early grains and oilseeds has been completed. Wheat yields reached 5.2 t/ha (–3% y-o-y), with a total harvest of 237 kt (–9% y-o-y). Rapeseed yields stood at 2.7t/ha (–20% y-o-y), with total output of 31 kt (–23% y-o-y). The highest results were achieved by Astarta’s farms in Western Ukraine: “Zhytnytsia Podillia” reported a wheat yield of 7.4 t/ha, while “Volochysk-Agro” achieved 3.1 t/ha in rapeseeds. Harvesting of late crops is currently underway.
At the same time, Astarta’s agricultural team has begun sowing winter crops for the 2026 harvest. Planned areas include 44 kha for winter wheat (–3% y-o-y) and 16 kha for winter rapeseeds (+45% y-o-y).
In the first half of 2025, the segment generated EUR61m in revenues (–38% y-o-y), primarily due to lower sales volumes of last year’s harvest. Exports accounted for 83% of the segment’s revenue, compared to 93% in H1 2024.
Sugar Production
The Astarta team is currently actively preparing for the sugar beet harvesting and processing season.
In the first half of 2025, the segment generated revenue of EUR79m, down 38% compared to the same period last year. The decline was driven by an 11% drop in sugar prices and a 29% decrease in sales volumes.
Sugar exports accounted for 47% of the segment’s revenue compared to 58% in H1 2024.
Soybean Processing
In the first half of 2025, soybean processing volumes remained stable y-o-y at 123 kt. Revenue declined by 6% to EUR55m, driven by price volatility, while exports accounted for 91% of the segment’s revenue.
The investment project for the construction of the soy protein concentrate plant is progressing on schedule, with production launch in 2026.
Livestock Production
The average cattle herd increased to 29k heads (+4% y-o-y). A 3% rise in average daily milk yield per cow — reaching 28 kg/day — led to a 2% y-o-y increase in milk production to 63 kt.
Revenue in the segment grew by 17% y-o-y to EUR29m, driven by an 11% increase in prices and a 2% rise in sales volumes. The Company continues to maintain its leadership in Ukraine’s industrial milk production.
Responsible Partnership Ecosystem (social impact projects)
Partnerships with both private and government-led initiatives help Astarta developing an ecosystem of social responsibility. This approach not only supports business but makes a meaningful contribution to the resilience and development of communities and Ukraine as a whole.
In the first half of 2025, the company continued to scale up the Common Help Ukraine project, launched in partnership with the “Believe in Yourself” Charitable Foundation. The initiative brings together businesses, international organizations, and local communities to provide systematic support to Ukrainians. Since its inception, total charitable and humanitarian aid provided under the project reached EUR36.4m.
Key areas of focus included financial and educational grants to support regional entrepreneurship, assistance to the Resilience Centers that offer free psychological support to community residents, and the Active Longevity programme, which aims to enhance the physical, mental, professional, and social well-being of Ukrainians.
