Prodo Group increased oilseed harvest by a third

The Prodo Zerno enterprise in Omsk Oblast, part of the Prodo group, harvested almost 23 thousand tonnes of rapeseed and flax at the end of the 2026 harvest campaign. This is 34.5% more than last year’s result, the company’s press service said.

Rapeseed accounted for the bulk of the crop: its harvest exceeded 19 thousand tonnes, up one and a half times compared with 2025.

The enterprise’s total sown area this year was about 60 thousand hectares, of which around 19 thousand hectares were allocated to oilseed crops. More than half of all the area was planted with soft wheat. The farm also grew barley, peas, oats and soybeans.

In the coming years, Prodo Zerno plans to expand rapeseed plantings and increase yields of erucic acid-free, low-glucosinolate varieties. The company expects that a combination of weather-stress resistance, high oil content and suitability for processing will make it possible to produce high-quality feedstocks in the unstable agroclimatic conditions of Western Siberia.

The Prodo group produces poultry meat, sausage products, semi-finished products and meat delicacies. It includes three meat-processing plants, four poultry farms, pig farm, a crop production complex, a feed mill and a branded retail chain. The group’s products are sold in 65 regions of Russia.
