Agriculture is one of the key sectors of Ukraine’s economy, accounting for over 40% of the country\u2019s exports<\/strong>. Amid global competition and unstable markets, farmers are increasingly turning to automation<\/strong> to reduce costs, minimize human error, and boost productivity.<\/p>\n In 2025, the most relevant trend in agribusiness is the integration of modern equipment<\/strong> for logistics, sorting, storage, and primary processing of crops.<\/p>\n Based on the experience of KONSORT<\/strong> (with more than 4,783 successful implementations<\/strong> across Ukraine), we\u2019ve identified five solutions that are already transforming the agricultural sector:<\/p>\n Task:<\/strong> Transporting, sorting, and delivering products to the packaging or storage zone. \u2705 Case:<\/strong> A 800-hectare farm in Poltava region implemented an automatic conveyor table for apples. As a result, manual sorting costs decreased by 63%<\/strong>, and product throughput increased to 7 tons\/hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s in the Top 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Scalable for various crops (apples, carrots, beets, nuts)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Reduces product damage during handling<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Complies with HACCP and food safety standards<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Task:<\/strong> Distributing products by size and weight before storage or sale. \u2705 Case:<\/strong> A berry farm in Zhytomyr region installed a nut grader with integrated weight control. Result \u2014 shipment became 45% faster<\/strong> with no extra labor during peak season.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s in the Top 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Adaptable to various product shapes (from cherries to onions)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Increases sales price of calibrated products by 20\u201325%<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Task:<\/strong> Automating loading and unloading processes. \u2705 Case:<\/strong> A logistics hub of an agribusiness in Kropyvnytskyi implemented a telescopic conveyor for truck loading. Throughput increased from 3 to 9 tons\/hour<\/strong>, and labor costs were reduced by 70%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s in the Top 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fast return on investment (from 6 months<\/strong>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Suitable for all types of packaging (bags, crates, containers)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Task:<\/strong> Vertical transfer of products between warehouse or production line levels. \u2705 Case:<\/strong> An agro-processing cooperative in Kherson region installed a vertical lift for tomato crates. It enabled uninterrupted operation across three production floors<\/strong>, saving two operators per shift<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s in the Top 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Saves warehouse space<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ensures continuous logistics flow<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Lifting speed \u2014 up to 12 m\/min<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Task:<\/strong> Intelligent sorting by set parameters (size, weight, product type). \u2705 Case:<\/strong> A walnut processing company in Vinnytsia automated sorting by size and density with an LR sorter. Manual checking costs were reduced by 80%<\/strong>, and sorting speed reached 6,000 units\/hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s in the Top 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ideal for variable products (nuts, seeds, legumes)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sorting accuracy exceeds 96%<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Reduces dependence on seasonal labor<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Optimizes internal logistics<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Minimizes product loss during handling and sorting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Increases productivity by 3\u20135\u00d7<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Meets modern food safety and traceability requirements<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n According to FAO<\/strong>, global demand for agricultural automation is growing at 9.8% annually<\/strong>. Ukrainian producers who adopt these technologies by 2025<\/strong> are gaining a significant competitive advantage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe equipment being installed today isn\u2019t just machinery \u2014 it\u2019s a survival tool in a market where every second and every dollar counts.\u201d Automation is not a luxury \u2014 it\u2019s a necessity<\/strong> for modern agribusiness. By investing in high-tech equipment in 2025, you\u2019re not just cutting expenses \u2014 you\u2019re building a foundation for scalable growth and sustainable profit.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd27 Looking for tailored automation for your farm?<\/strong> Contact the experts at KONSORT<\/strong> \u2014 we\u2019ll develop a custom solution based on your product, facility size, and budget.<\/p>\n
