- Agroton Public Limited (AGT.WA) operates as a diversified vertically integrated agricultural producer engaged in the production, processing, storage, and sale of crops and livestock products primarily in Eastern Ukraine. The company cultivates a variety of grains and oilseeds including wheat, sunflower, corn, rapeseed, barley, rye, sorghum, triticale, oats, peas, buckwheat, vetch, millet, coriander, soybeans, and flax; raises livestock encompassing poultry for broiler meat and eggs, dairy cattle for milk, pigs for pork, and cattle for beef; and processes agricultural products into bakery goods, cheese, pasta, sunflower-seed oil, flour, and animal feed. Agroton controls approximately 151,000 hectares of arable land, operates storage facilities with capacity exceeding 235,000 tonnes, and serves domestic and international markets in Europe and Asia, positioning it as Ukraine's leading sunflower producer, fourth-largest wheat producer, and top crops storage operator in the Luhansk region.
Founded in 1992 with operations based in Kyiv, Ukraine, and incorporated as a public limited company in Cyprus in 2009, Agroton lists its shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and maintains its registered office in Nicosia, Cyprus. The company employs around 1,779 people and structures its activities across plant breeding, livestock, and agricultural products processing segments through wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries including LLC Living, Gefest LLC, and Tais-Abb PE.
In recent developments, Agroton's majority shareholder Iurii Zhuravlov acquired approximately 1.5 million company shares in 2021, bolstering ownership concentration; the company reported ongoing impacts from military actions in the Donbas region affecting its Luhansk-based operations; and it repurchased 44% of its own Eurobonds totaling USD 22.1 million in 2022 to manage debt. As of mid-2025, Agroton sustains crop production leadership amid challenges, with its stock reflecting improved financial metrics including a return on equity of 22.59% and low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.12. No major new acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or product launches appear in public records for 2024-2025.
