VITAGRO's horticulture division is one of the largest in Ukraine regarding orchard area and fruit production. Our orchards are located in the villages of V. Zherebky in the Volochysk district and Svirshkivtsi in the Chemerovets district. Here, we have constructed one of the largest fruit warehouses, equipped with state-of-the-art sorting lines and modern storage facilities. This infrastructure allows us to supply the market with a significant volume of high-quality products that we grow and prepare for sale.
