On May 20-21, the AGRO CHALLENGE 2026 Field Day was held at the demonstration fields of the Institute of Mechanics and Automation of Agro-Industrial Production of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in the village of Olenivka, Kyiv region. The event traditionally opened the season of large-scale field events and brought together the professional agricultural community from all over Ukraine. The organization of AGRO CHALLENGE 2026 was traditionally provided by the AGRO TEAM EXPO team, which has been shaping the culture of holding professional field events in Ukraine for more than one year. Focusing on the current needs of the agrarian business, the organizer creates an effective platform for interaction between agricultural producers, the scientific community, equipment suppliers and developers of modern technological solutions.
The A.TOM Group of Companies became a participant in one of the largest agricultural events in the country, which this year brought together 191 companies. Leading manufacturers of agricultural machinery, suppliers of components, developers of technological solutions, financial institutions and representatives of the automotive sector were presented at the demonstration sites. The event was held with the support of state institutions, specialized scientific organizations and the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, which once again confirmed its importance for the development of the agricultural industry and the implementation of modern approaches in production.
Despite the pessimistic forecasts of weather forecasters, both days of AGRO CHALLENGE were held in favorable weather, which allowed participants to fully assess the capabilities of machinery and equipment directly in field conditions. Farmers, enterprise managers, engineers and agronomists from almost all regions of Ukraine arrived in Olenivka. The visitors' special attention was attracted by the demonstrations, during which 37 units of various types of machinery were presented in operation. Participants had the opportunity to evaluate the operation of modern sowing complexes, soil tillage units, self-propelled sprayers, as well as get acquainted with the trends in automation of production processes and technologies of precision agriculture.
For the A.TOM team, participation in AGRO CHALLENGE was an excellent opportunity to communicate with farmers, exchange experience with colleagues in the industry and track current requests from farms for technical equipment. Such events are an effective platform for finding new solutions, establishing partnerships and developing modern agricultural production.
A separate component of the event was a charitable initiative in support of the Ukrainian military. Thanks to the activity of participants and guests, it was possible to collect more than 100 thousand hryvnias, which were directed to the purchase of an unmanned aerial vehicle for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
AGRO CHALLENGE 2026 once again confirmed its status as one of the country's key field events, demonstrating the readiness of Ukrainian agribusiness to introduce innovations, invest in technological development, and work to strengthen the country's food security.
