Why the Odesa region
The location for vegetable cultivation was chosen deliberately. Following the loss of agricultural capacities in the temporarily occupied territories in the south of the country, Odesa Oblast has become a new centre of Ukrainian vegetable production, with conditions suitable for a wide range of vegetable crops.
Selecting hybrids and seed
Each season begins with selecting seed hybrids for the specific crop and for the field's soil and climate conditions. We choose hybrids with an eye to shelf life, marketable appearance and suitability for long storage — so the produce withstands logistics and storage without losing quality. This approach lays down predictable quality even before sowing and lets us plan volumes for the needs of specific partners for the whole season.
Care through the season
During the growing period UVG's agronomists monitor plant nutrition, protection against diseases and pests, and irrigation. Continuous monitoring of the crops allows a timely response to weather and phytosanitary challenges and keeps crop development even across the whole area — the basis for the future harvest.
Harvest, sorting and grading
The harvested crop is sorted and graded to a single commercial standard. Produce is separated by calibre and quality, the non-marketable part is rejected, and batches are prepared for storage or shipment. This way the chain receives an even, predictable product — from the first crate to the last.
What this means for partners
Because growing, storage and logistics are concentrated in one place, the partner gets a single point of accountability for quality and volumes instead of a chain of intermediaries. This makes it possible to guarantee steady supplies of fresh Ukrainian vegetables all year round — and to plan cooperation ahead with confidence in the result.
