KSG Agro links profit growth to investments in pig farming

KSG Agro increased its operating profit 3.2-fold in the first half of 2026, from $0.76 mln to $2.49 mln compared with the same period last year. The company’s EBITDA rose 2.6-fold from $1.04 mln to $2.75 mln, according to its report published on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The pig farming segment was the main contributor to the improvement in financial performance. The company attributes the increase in efficiency, in particular, to investments in herd genetics, technology, production infrastructure and energy independence.

The introduction of Canadian-genetics sows purchased in 2025 has already had a positive impact. According to KSG Agro Chairman of the Board Serhiy Kasianov, the improvement in financial performance was achieved not through a simple increase in sales but through more efficient conversion of production results into profit.

In 2026, KSG Agro is continuing its herd renewal program and plans to replace around 30% of its breeding sow herd — 1.5 thsd out of 4.5 thsd sows. Deliveries of F1 breeding sows from the Danish DanBred breeding program began in spring and are expected to improve herd productivity and genetic potential.

The company expects further renewal of its breeding herd to increase productivity and make production economics more predictable. KSG Agro also plans to continue investing in technology, production and energy infrastructure, as well as the further development of its pig farming business.
