Farming
Crops in Žito group are cultivated for the production of animal feed, flour, oil and sugar where familiar origin is the basis of quality assurance in finished products. Žito group cultivates crops on more than 18.500 hectares of owned farmland, while crops are bought from additional 60.000 hectares owned by Žito subcontractors. The entire production is based on the principles of integrated production, i.e., implies balanced application of agricultural measures with minimal use of agrochemicals and use of manure from farms and digestate from biogas plants, thereby reducing the use of mineral fertilizers and emission of greenhouse gases. We use new-aged machinery that in addition to efficiency is more environmentally friendly.

Energy
The basis of energy production in the Žito Group is the use of manure from the farms of the Group, silage and other organic residues in a biogas plant, where the decomposition of organic matter produces biogas, whose combustion in a cogeneration plant produces electricity. We produce 44.5 GWh of electricity annually. Digestate, a byproduct in the production of biogas, rich in macro and micro nutrients, is used as organic fertilizer on Group's cropland.
Biogas plants Mala Branjevina
