Agro-Region reduced the cost of transporting grain and oilseed crops by up to 30% compared to last year. This achievement was made possible by expanding its own fleet by 40 wagons. In April, the USAID Economic Resilience Activity (ERA) provided the company with 25 wagons, and Agro-Region invested its own funds to purchase an additional 15 wagons.
According to Alexander Tymoshenko, the Commercial Director of Agro-Region, having an in-house fleet allows them to be more flexible in logistics and maintain fixed transportation costs.
As of early December, Agro-Region had exported 58,000 tons of grain and oilseed crops.
Previously, Agro-Region relied on renting wagons, which during peak times (such as the harvest season) led to delays and increased transportation costs.
In 2024, USAID ERA also provided Agro-Region with 3 grain trailers, 2 generators, 2 truck scales, and 2 telescopic loaders.
