Visit of People's Deputies to Agro Kar
People's Deputies, representatives of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine and the Kirovohrad Regional State Administration visited the Agro Kar enterprise on April 7.
The guests got acquainted with the production of the first Kropyvnytskyi tractor - SPIKE TK.
The visit took place after an interdepartmental meeting, at which they discussed the state's initiative to encourage communities to choose domestic equipment when purchasing.
"Various issues arose during the dialogue, including complex ones, which we need to finalize. But we see that the authorities are opening up opportunities for interaction," said the head of Agro Kar Andriy Teplyuk.
During the visit, People's Deputies of Ukraine, Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development Dmytro Kysylevskyi emphasized that state support instruments have been created for Ukrainian business. In particular, this is the program "Affordable Loans 5-7-9%", as well as other initiatives within the framework of the "Made in Ukraine" policy, aimed at the development of domestic production.
"The "Made in Ukraine" economic policy gives birth to new factories. Companies that were previously engaged only in the import or repair of equipment, thanks to state programs, become manufacturers. The "Agro Kar" company has invested 30 million hryvnias in launching the production of tractors for agricultural needs. Batch production involves the production of each tractor in a separate section. In September 2025, the company plans to switch to conveyor production in a new workshop with an area of 2,000 square meters, the construction of which is currently underway. The total amount of investment in this project is about 100 million hryvnias," noted People's Deputy Dmytro Kysylevsky.
To implement its project, "Agro Kar" has already used several programs of the "Made in Ukraine" state policy. Currently, the company is being considered as a potential participant in the program of compensation of 25% of the cost for the purchase of Ukrainian-made equipment.
"The Agro Kar company is actively involved in state programs and is ready to work for the economy together with the state. We hope that we, as a local manufacturer with great potential, will be shown the way and helped to overcome barriers," Andriy Teplyuk added.
