EkoNiva Group has presented cutting-edge solutions in the field of agribusiness management at the Agrosalon 2024 international trade show.

The event created a great opportunity to sum up the results of the past season and discuss plans for the future through live communication. Several hundred existing and potential partners visited EkoNiva's booth.

‘We keep enhancing our team by opening branches in new regions and our own part storage facilities, aiming to ensure high machine performance in peak season and quickly responding to all market changes’, notes Gennadiy Nepomnyashchiy, Commercial Director of EkoNiva-Tekhnika.

In 2024, the dealer moved from No 4 to No 1 in sales of LOVOL machines in Russia. It opened the country's first spare parts warehouse for the SANY brand, which significantly boosted interest in these machines.

‘We have diversified our business, keeping up with the times and adding a lot of Russian brands to our product portfolio. Rosagroleasing supports us in promoting them – this year, we have almost tripled our sales’, continues Gennadiy Nepomnyashchiy.

EkoNiva-Tekhnika’s product range comprises 35 brands of cutting-edge foreign and domestic machinery, and it is not a limit. EkoNiva-Semena is also constantly enlarging its portfolio with high-yielding seed varieties, including those developed by the company's breeders. KomarichiAgro farming enterprise in Bryansk oblast is a customer of several years ordering machinery maintenance, spare parts and field crop seeds from the Group.

‘EkoNiva is not just a reliable friend and partner – it always provides us with the best technologies and novelties. The latest of them is the company's in-house bred soya beans. For the second year in a row, we have been growing EN Akcent in our fields and are particularly pleased with the quality. Despite the severe drought this season, the net yield amounted to 2.5 t/ha with 45% protein. We plan to further work with EkoNiva, overcoming all the challenges and opening new horizons’, says Kristian Kovalchik, Manager of the enterprise.

The Russian farming sector is now striving for independence in seed production and crop breeding, so the company is following the trend. The Russian State Register of Plant Breeding Achievements includes thirteen in-house varieties of EkoNiva, ten of which are already supplied to the clients, while three varieties are still in process.

‘Currently, the spotlight falls on soya beans, a profitable and popular crop. We also keep sharing our experience in the cultivation of lentils, for which we have launched our own plant breeding programme’, says Yevgeniy Kucheryavenko, Executive Director of EkoNiva-Semena.

So far, the company's commercial portfolio includes two varieties of red and green lentils, but several more are undergoing trials.

Apart from plant breeding, the Group is engaged in pedigree cattle sales. EkoNiva's heifers are valued for their high genetic potential and the company’s excellent customer service. ‘We partner with major agricultural holdings and developing farms and keep stepping up the national sales volume from year to year. Our cows are now milked in more than 20 regions of Russia – from the south to the Far East’, states Viktor Voronin, Manager of Cattle Sales Division at EkoNiva-APK Holding.

At Agrosalon 2024, the farmers made optimistic plans for the coming season, while a tasting of EkoNiva's high-quality dairy products added to the positive mood.
