A/S Trigon Agri: Land Under Control Increases to 133,500ha
With the following A/S Trigon Agri announces that its land under control has increased to 133,500ha with recent additions in its Kirovograd cluster in Ukraine. Out of the total land under control by the group as of today, approximately 129,500 hectares are located in the four clusters in the Black Earth region (Harkov, Kirovograd, Samara and Penza) and are earmarked for cereal production, with the remainder related to the group’s Russian and Estonian dairy farms.
In 2008 A/S Trigon Agri expects to harvest over 65,000ha of farm-land in the Black Earth region split roughly equally between its Ukrainian and Russian operations. The harvested area will include both fields seeded by A/S Trigon Agri itself as well as areas where crops have been bought as work-in-progress from former owners by taking over operations of existing farms. Further information on the harvest outlook will be published by A/S Trigon Agri at the end of June 2008.
