Ukraine’s agricultural sector plays a crucial role not only in the national economy, but also in ensuring global food security. Unique natural resources, highly skilled professionals and innovative technologies are the foundations that make Ukraine an attractive partner for investment.
In 2023, foreign investment in Ukraine’s agricultural sector reached USD 3.41 billion. Ukraine combines significant agricultural potential with reliability as a partner for investors. Supported by a favourable legislative framework, government-backed initiatives and innovations, agro-processing has become one of the most promising areas for investment.
This was emphasised by Oleksandr Melnychenko, Acting Executive Director of UkraineInvest, during a meeting of the Coordination Council on Agricultural Logistics, chaired by Vitalii Koval, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.
Highlighting why now is the time to invest in Ukraine, Oleksandr Melnychenko explained how legislation on significant investments supports agro-processing and outlined the growth prospects of this high-potential sector.
“Agro-processing has been identified as a priority sector with state support of up to 30% of CAPEX. Despite the war, Ukraine offers unique and significant investment opportunities. According to UkraineInvest, Ukraine’s key advantages today include its strategic location, a well-developed agricultural base with strong potential for production and export, including processed goods, investment incentives and innovations in AgriTech – such as drones, meteorological stations and forecasting systems,” said Oleksandr Melnychenko.
The meeting was also attended by representatives of Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Internal Affairs, State Tax Service, State Customs Service, Bureau of Economic Security and grain associations.
