The Epicenter K company launched its own seed plant in the Western cluster in the Khmelnitsky region.

A seed line of the Cimbria company (Denmark) with a capacity of 80-100 tons / day was installed at the plant, the company said. The seed line allows you to refine the seeds in accordance with the advanced technology of calibration, dressing and packing.

“This year we began to work independently with seed for our own needs. In the autumn sowing, the company prepared more than 2 thousand tons of high-grade wheat seeds, ”said Vasily Moroz, head of the Epicenter K agribusiness.

According to him, seed production is quite a profitable area, so the launch of its own seed plant will allow the company to increase revenue per hectare.

Negotiations are underway with several foreign producers on the cultivation and processing of seed material for their needs. In the future, the company will switch to the cultivation of seed material of grain and leguminous crops with its subsequent refinement.

“The development of this direction will lead to a decrease in the cost of production of crop products, which will result in increased efficiency of our agribusiness as a whole,” emphasized Vasily Moroz.

For growing seeds, the agricultural holding has its own hybridization plots with irrigation equipment and rain machines.
