The agricultural division of Kusto Group has consistently applied the latest innovative global practices. By making use of precision farming and telematics, Kusto is able to maximise yields over the long term to help meet the growing demands of developing markets for foodstuffs and animal feed. Sharing best practice with international partners through events like Global AgConnect is key to Kusto Group’s agricultural vision.

The challenges of COVID make like AgConnect more important than ever. Addressing these issues is at the heart of Kusto’s future approach, whether by encouraging knowledge sharing across the company’s different divisions or helping to support and educate the next generation of entrepreneurs.
