Arnika has been on the market since 2000, and during the last ten years of our history we have been in organic farming.
Our intentions regarding the transition to organic agriculture were supported by the willingness not to bring any negative impact on ecosystems or to do harm to nature. Besides, we strive for being frugal in the use of the given resources and as much responsible, as possible, for future generations.
Throughout the years, our team has done everything to create a powerful and recognized company, a reliable partner for the world, friendly to the environment, responsible to the community and customers. We have researched and developed markets from North America to Asia, from Scandinavia to the Middle East.
We taught and learned, created and developed. We achieved and set even more unattainable goals. We took care of the community and contributed to the development of the entire organic movement in Ukraine. We have created a business that is honest with employees, with the state and with its partners. We strategized and changed. We have become the largest organic holding in Ukraine, one of the significant exporters of organic soybeans and corn to EU countries. We have achieved a gross collection of 50,000 tons of products per year, having developed the delivery of organic commodities by all means of transportation.
And suddenly the war came to our country, to our home, to our families, to our lives. In February 2022, the russian federation launched a large-scale, brutal, bloody war against Ukraine. And with that, against the whole world, where the values of humanity and democracy reign. The war in which whole cities, peaceful fellow citizens and innocent children, our soldiers, the best sons of Ukraine become victims.
With the advent of the war, everything changed. Apart from our desire to live and work in Ukraine and for Ukraine. That is why, from the first days of the war, our team accumulated maximum efforts in order to help and continue working. In the conditions of complete uncertainty and shortage of resources, we began to prepare for the spring sowing campaign. We did everything to keep our team safe and to fulfill our obligations to our customers. We searched for and worked out new logistics. We actually created new supply chains. We sowed and collected the «iron harvest».
And every moment throughout the year, Ukraine was in pain, so were we. Each piece of news, each victim, each mutilated life, each destroyed city was heartbreaking. Each.
Our military does the impossible every day. Laying down their lives for our future here in Ukraine.
The people of Ukraine are doing the impossible, being a reliable and steadfast rear for our military.
The world and our partners are doing the impossible by supporting and helping, developing trade and joint projects with Ukrainian businesses.
Our team is doing everything possible without slowing down even for a moment.
We thank everyone who was with us during the most difficult year in the history of our country.We thank you for remaining loyal to Ukraine and to Arnika.
Ukraine will definitely win. Our spirit is strong.

Andriy Pylypchenko
Founder, Owner and CEO
Agroindustrial Group Arnika
Arnika was established in 2000 like a conventional agricultural business with key specialization in soybeans production and breeding. In 2004 we built the first soybean processing plant and established the Scientific research institute.
In 2012 I made a strategic decision to transform the whole company in organic business and implement sustainable agricultural practices on our fields.
Since that time, we reached almost 15 000 hectares of land being certified organic, that made us the second largest organic agriholding in Europe. We provide almost 53% of all soybean export volume from Ukraine to the EU, and are the biggest producer and exporter of corn from Ukraine.
We conduct long-term and favorable partnership with clients from Europe, Asia, Middle East and North America.
Today, we develop our business in such a way that we could generate economic value and simultaneously make a positive environmental and social impact. With our business we strive to contribute to the fair future of all inhabitants of our Planet. We would also like to set an example of a sustainable business, that operates in a large-scale organic agriculture and stays socially and environmentally responsible.
We are in organic, because for us matters, what footprint we leave for next generations. And that stays to be our guiding philosophy.

The European Union is the second-largest organic market in the world, that had 37 percent of the global market share (or almost 45 billion EURO in 2020). The EU market is also the biggest market for the Ukrainian organic commodities, thus lots of Ukrainian organic producers have developed their logistics and good relations with the EU partners.
Total imports of organic agri-food products in the EU have increased from 2.79 million t in 2020 to 2.87 million t in 2021 (+2.8%). And Ukraine plays one of the most important sourcing roles in those volumes. In 2021 Ukraine had almost 7% of the market, exporting 217 thousand tons of organic commodities. Arnika is one of the prominent players and has its own share in the «EU organic pie», exporting soybeans, corn, sunflower and lots of other products of high organic quality.
