Agrofirm Olgopol, Chechelnitsky district of Vinnitsa region, is engaged in seed production and is the basic farm of the Institute of Plant Physiology and Genetics of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine for the production of grain crops.
In 2008 Agrofirm Olgopol was certified as an elite seed farm. Two years ago, they purchased a set of German equipment and commissioned their own seed plant. The quality of marketable grain and seeds was checked in certified laboratories.

We approached this seriously, because we didn’t want to prepare the seeds in an artisanal way, and for that we needed professional technology" - said the director of the agrofirm Pavel Kalenich.
The modern line with a capacity of 70 tons / day allows you to perform the whole complex of works on the preparation of seeds from cleaning, processing with fungicides, insecticides, growth stimulants and fertilizers to packing in big bags.
The preparation of high-quality seed material with a purity of 99% by germination above 92% and its dressing at the Agrofirm Olgopol plant call their serious competitive advantage. Pavel Kalenich notes that he took this idea abroad, where farmers are no doubt buying the treated seeds and depriving yourself "headache" in working with seed material.

Last year we sold seeds grown and modified in 17 regions of Ukraine,” said Pavel Kalenich.
