The press services of PJSC “Myronivsky Khliboprodukt” and ASA “Astra” announce that in March 2016 MHP purchased 16 Fendt 936 Vario Power tractors for a total of over EUR 3 million.
For three years running, MHP has been purchasing Fendt tractors to renew its equipment fleet and service its constantly expanding land bank. In 2014, 14 Fendt tractors were purchased, in 2015 – 15, and since the start of 2016 – already 16 tractors.
The new machinery has already been distributed among MHP’s branches and handed over to experienced, trained machine operators. The high-performance, powerful tractors supplied by Astra have gone to work in Sumy, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. In 2015, the MHP agroholding expanded its land bank, and the new tractors will work mainly on the newly acquired land and farms.
Today, the “Myronivsky Khliboprodukt” agroholding is the largest owner of Fendt tractors in the world. About 140 powerful Fendt-brand tractors work its fields. Thanks to the mutually beneficial partnership between MHP, Fendt manufacturer AGCO Corporation, and distributor Astra Agricultural Construction Alliance, new Fendt models and developments are periodically tested on the Ukrainian agroholding’s fields as well.
In October last year, during celebrations marking 10 years of cooperation between PJSC “SPF “Urozhai””, AGCO Corporation and ASA “Astra”, they recalled the story of buying the first tractor. Oleh Volodymyrovych Vasetskyi, branch director, spoke about how the decision to choose the tractor was made: “I’ve never dug so deep into the process of buying equipment. We spent a long time comparing Fendt with other tractors, sketching things out, doing the math – and in the end, we chose something we’ve never once regretted.”
