Gold sponsorSTEPPE Agroholding https://ahstep.ru/en

Agroholding STEPPE JSC is a subsidiary of the international corporation Sistema PJSFC, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The agricultural holding unites several major farmsteads in Rostov, Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, which are a traditional “bread basket” of Russia: best in terms of climate, productivity and logistics.

The main areas of business are crop production, agricultural trading, and dairy farming.

The total land bank of the company is 578 thousand ha. In 2020/21, STEPPE collected a record crop: the gross harvest was 1.6 million tons, of which about 1 million is attributed to wheat. This year, a new promising direction was launched — trading in niche crops. Since July, the export deliveries of peas by Agroholding have reached 124 thousand tons, and the company took a leading position in the export of this crop from Russia. Also, this year the active development of the B2C sector began: the Agroholding is mastering the production and distribution of packaged cheeses and plant-based alternatives.

The total cattle stock is more than 17 thousand heads, the gross milk yield is about 14.5 thousand liters of milk per cow. This makes the company number one in terms of dairy productivity among the big Russian farms, which is confirmed by the leadership in the ratings (according to Soyuzmoloko and MilkNews) and the assessments of independent experts. The Agroholding runs seven modern dairy farms. The farms have a EuroNumber, which allows them to supply milk to processors who export products to the EU.

Agroholding STEPPE has automated and digitalized all stages of its grain and other crops production: from planning sown areas to harvesting, transporting and accounting for crops, including monitoring and tending crops in the process. Several flagship developments have been introduced at the Agroholding. A "digital twin" of farms has been created. The field history cloud service collects and analyzes all information on each field: from the operation of the equipment to the characteristics of the soil. "The system of forecasting and analysis of production" with the use of AI forms the structure of crop rotation, calculates the marginality of the cultivation of agricultural crops, their yield. Many technological operations in STEPPE are performed by quadcopters, unmanned harvesters and tractors.

The environmental and social standards of the Agroholding are officially recognized by prominent experts. The company entered the ESG-ranking of Russian companies according to RAEX-Europe. STEPPE became the second agricultural company in this list and took 54th place among all Russian companies.

All of the above allows the company to grow and develop dynamically. Unaudited revenue in Q3 2021 increased by almost one and a half times (by 88% year-on-year) and amounted to RUB 27.7 billion. Revenue for 9 months grew by 76% year-on-year to RUB 39.3 billion.

We are at the beginning of the road, we have ambitious goals and many ambitious plans for the development and improvement of our company.
