Note to Editors
 
Landkom International PLC is a large scale producer of agricultural feedstock, principally oil seed rape and wheat, for supply to the European biodiesel and food industries. 
 
Operating in Western Ukraine in the prime, fertile lands close to the border with Poland, Landkom has secured a land bank in excess of 100,000 hectares (as at 3 June 2008) and has completed the plantation of its first commercial crop of over 14,000 hectares. Landkom has a target to increase the land bank in Ukraine to at least 350,000 hectares by 2011.
 
Landkom is implementing Western-style agronomy practices using modern agricultural equipment to carry out efficient, large-scale farming techniques that will result in greater return from the land, increase levels of employment in the region and support further investment into the local economy.
