- At the Forbes Ukraine panel discussion, Liubov Leshchuk, First Deputy Director of Zakhidnyi Buh, shared the key factors behind the company’s transformation aimed at increasing business profitability in today's challenging environment.
The company is implementing a comprehensive approach to reducing production costs per hectare, which includes:
- Logistics and Planning: Increasing machinery productivity through precise coupling (aggregation) and meticulously calculated logistics routes.
- Personnel Management: Optimizing man-hours through detailed standardization of every technological operation.
- Resource Control: Reducing fuel costs by up to 20% by monitoring engine loads and improving machinery operation oversight to minimize repair expenses.
- Production Culture: Implementing the 5S system and continuously refining internal processes.
The natural potential of Western Ukraine is maximized through the professional enhancement of agricultural technologies:
- Resource Quality: Selection of high-performance genetics (varieties and hybrids) and rigorous inbound laboratory quality control.
- Soil Restoration: Annual application of organic fertilizers on at least 20% of the enterprise's land.
- Investing in People: Continuous training for specialists at our own Center for Agricultural Development and at leading educational institutions in Germany.
A vital element of the strategy is generating additional profit by providing services and products developed by the company’s experts:
- Seed Material: Sales of high-quality cereal and soybean seeds.
- Expert Services: Agronomic consulting, professional training, and scientific research provided by the Center for Agricultural Development.
- Precision Farming: Services from our own modern agrochemical laboratory.
We thank Forbes Ukraine for the opportunity to join this professional discussion and share our practical experience in managing efficiency within the agribusiness sector.
