The Agro-Industrial Group Arnika has been operating on the market since 2000, the last ten years of its history being related specifically to organic farming. Our intentions regarding the transition to organic agricultural technology were supported by the desire not to have a negative impact on ecosystems, to be frugal in the use of the given resource, to be responsible for future generations.

Our team does everything to create a powerful and recognized company, a reliable partner for the world, friendly to the environment, responsible to the community and devoted to its consumers and partners.

Today, our company is the largest organic company in Ukraine in terms of the size of the land bank and a powerful exporter of certified agricultural raw materials to the countries of the EU, North America, the Middle East, and Japan. We have achieved a gross collection of 50,000 tons of agricultural commodities, having developed the delivery of organic goods by all available means of transportation.

In recent years, we have established international offices in the U.S. and Switzerland, thereby strengthening our position and presence in these markets.

I am proud of my team. A team that is ambitious and inspired in the development of the company. I am proud and thankful to everyone who is responsible on the spot for what the company will be tomorrow. And with our activities, we try to make this "tomorrow" safe, healthy and high-quality for the future generation.

Organic production

Our company operates in the Cherkasy and Poltava regions. The total land bank is almost 18,000 hectares, certified in accordance with the requirements of organic standards. Our agricultural technology involves the non-use of mineral fertilizers and any chemical means of plant protection, which contributes to the improvement of the surrounding ecosystem, the quality of land resources, and the preservation of carbon in the soil. All care of agricultural crops from the beginning to the end of the season is carried out only mechanically.  

We use strong, healthy, clean, non-poisoned seeds with great potential for yield and quality. At the Institute of Organic Agriculture, we also breed various varieties of soybeans, chickpeas, lentils, and technical hemp that are resistant and suitable for organic cultivation. The annual gross collection of the company reaches 40-50 thousand tons of products, high-quality products with a traceable production cycle. Full traceability is ensured through the use of the latest technical means.

Unmanned technologies, modern navigation equipment, additional mechanical tillage of the soil for the purpose of moisture retention - this is an incomplete list of approaches that are used in agricultural technology in our company. Organic farming is an investment in the future through a frugal attitude to natural resources and preservation of the ecosystem. Biodiversity programs are part of the companys organic certification, and the scientific validity of crop rotation using cover crops is a mandatory part of the production plan.

Why organic sunflower (h/o) oil?

Taste and price

Neutral characteristics, so the salad will smell like lettuce, not like oil. In terms of its properties it’s a complete analogue of olive oil, but costs cheaper, thus is affordable for consumers

Usefulness

Due to the high content of Omega-9 or oleic acid (80% +), the oil is oxidatively resistant, which significantly reduces the likelihood of carcinogens during frying; the highest content of vitamin E in comparison with other edible oils, which is a natural antioxidant, which helps to strengthen the immune system

Free from chemical substances & contaminations

Organic oil is crushed by an expeller (special press) or, more simply, mechanically. This guarantees the complete absence of traces of any harmful chemical components in the product

Efficient usage

A higher smoke point (260 degrees versus 170 for conventional sunflower oil) leads to a money saving. This oil type could be efficiently used in industrial scales, at HoReCa and for household needs

Why our organic sunflower (h/o) oil?

We grow

Almost 12,000 tons of organic (high-oleic) sunflower were produced during 2022/2023 in the fields of our company. Therefore, we guarantee the high quality and traceability of our commodities.

We process

We are developing the vertical integration of our company. The safety and quality of the final product is guaranteed by us at every stage of the production chain.

We export

Our products are delivered to the clients place exactly on time and in the appropriate quality. Together with customers, we discuss optimal conditions and ways of delivery.

Thus

Fully controlling all processes from "seed - to harvest - to final product", we offer you reliable cooperation, high-quality and safe products that are trusted by our partners from all over the world

In 2004 we launched the soybean processing plant with the capacity of 2 tons/hour of TEP-soya.

This product is a complex product which contains 60% bypass protein and 70% bypass starch.

It prevents cows’ ketosis and therefore excludes the need to buy supplements.

TEP-soya provides a natural ratio of essential amino acids with oil energy, which is expressed in the maximum energy value required for fattening all major farm animals, poultry and fish.

Current capacity of soybean processing plant is 6 tons/hour and our key clients are Ukrainian animal husbandry farms.

We produce a range of other feed components, including sunflower cake and full-fat soya. The latter provides digestibility of protein more than 90%, high absorption of fats, high tocopherol content, excellent flavor qualities.

Export

We are exporting our organic goods to different countries:

Types of delivery

  • Sea shipments
  • Trucks
  • Railway wagons

We are a global business that meets consumer demand for safe and quality organic products worldwide. Together with our trading partners from the EU, North America, the Middle East and Asia, we create sustainable supply chains and enhance the organic ecosystem.

Our trading companies are located in Ukraine (Arnika Organic), the US (Arnika Organic North America Inc.) and Switzerland (Arnika Organic Europe AG). A well-established logistics system allows us to offer customers the most efficient ways to deliver organic goods. We have worked out logistics for all types of transport, and the terms of shipments are negotiable.

The US is the largest market for organic food products, reaching €48.6 billion in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has also made adjustments to consumer purchasing habits, which are now based on healthy and functional food choices. Thus, the consumer basket has changed and many products of organic origin have found their place in it.

The growing demand for organic products is forcing more and more companies in the US to switch to organic farming practices. In addition, many organic companies are setting themselves ambitious goals to decarbonize their production and supply chains, which make them even more environmentally friendly and responsible for the environment and society. Arnika has already taken its place among reliable suppliers of organic products in the world, in particular in the countries of North America. We offer our customers: a traceable supply chain - from our field in Ukraine to partners in the US or Canada, direct cooperation without intermediaries, deliveries that are made exactly on time, high quality of organic products, which is confirmed by relevant certificates.

We are interested in building a reliable and long-term partnership with customers and consumers from the North American region.

Andriy Pylypchenko

Head of Arnika Organic North America Inc.

The European Union is the second largest organic market in the world, accounting for 37 percent of the global market (or nearly €47 billion in 2021). The EU market is also the largest market for Ukrainian organic products, so many Ukrainian organic producers have developed their logistics and good partnerships with EU importers. The total import of organic agro-food products in the EU in 2022 amounted to almost 2.72 million tons of organic products, having experienced a slight decrease due to the increase in consumer prices and, accordingly, the demand for products. However, in 2022, Ukraine took its significant place among the exporters of organic products to the EU. In total, Ukraine exported about 220,000 tons of various products, primarily grain, leguminous, and oil products.

Arnika is one of the most significant players from Ukraine in the EU market, exporting soybeans, corn, sunflower and many other products of high organic quality. We offer our customers from the EU high-quality organic products from reliable and responsible producers. We guarantee full traceability of production and supply chains, as well as absolutely fair pricing of the goods supplied.

We believe that the organic world is a world of motivated and reliable partners who build long-term and sustainable partnerships.
