Ukrlandfarming is one of Ukraine’s largest agrarian holdings, which as a result of the Russian invasion in 2022 suffered losses at around US$1 billion as of the end of 2023.

“On the evening of March 9, 2024, the enemy launched a missile attack on the Dnipro region. A 58-year-old man, our employee, was injured. The production facilities of our company were completely destroyed,” the company said in a statement.

It provided no further details.

Analysts from the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) said last month the Ukrainian agricultural sector has suffered almost US$80 billion in direct and indirect losses linked to Russia’s invasion.

The figure included losses of US$5.8 billion from the destruction of equipment, US$1.8 billion from damage to silos and almost US$2 billion from ruined agricultural products.

At the beginning of January 2023, analysts estimated such losses at US$38 billion.
