Don Agro International achieves all-time record wheat harvest of 89,107 tonnes

Singapore-based Don Agro International Limited and its subsidiaries announced the completion of its 2022 winter wheat harvest, which had gone up by 16.8 thousand tonnes compared to 2021.

The group's 2022 wheat harvest is 89,107 tonnes, 23.2% more than the 72,300 tonnes in 2021 and 37.3% more than the 64,923 tonnes in 2020. 75,321 tonnes of the 2022 harvest were produced by Don Agro LLC in the Rostov Region, Russia, and 13,786 tonnes were harvested by Volgo-Agro LLC in the Volgograd Region.

Marat Devlet-Kildeyev, Don Agro International's chief exeuctive officer, said: "Over the years, we have been expanding our land area and improving our yield, with the single goal of producing a bigger harvest. Last year, we added 4,100 hectares of land by acquiring Rav Agro-Rost LLC, which led to a record winter wheat harvest of 72,300 tonnes.

"This year, the team worked hard to improve yields and achieved an all-time-high winter wheat harvest of 89,100 tonnes. Our team made this possible by planning meticulously, investing in high quality fertilisers and purchasing six new harvesters, which reduced spoilage. We intend to continue upgrading our equipment in our efforts to raise our production level by the year."
