Introduction

Background

Our flagship annual Agribusiness Forum in Kyiv each Autumn has firmly established itself as a key date in the Ukrainian agribusiness calendar with such influential partners as the Ministry of Agrarian Policy & Food, the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation, Credit Agricole, the Rada Agrarian Committee, IFC, Baker McKenzie, EBRD, US-Ukraine Business Council and the Ukrainian Grain Association. The efficient and productive 1-day format manages to cover the widest spectre of topics, including financing and investment, innovations & agtech, new export markets, agriholdings’ corporate strategies and logistics and infrastructure.

Its sister event is the Ukrainian Agro-Industrial & Food Forum, which takes place each May in the Netherlands, in partnership with the Ukrainian Embassy in the Netherlands and the Ukrainian Dutch Joint Business Council with its Co-Chairs, Oleksiy Pavlenko and Hans De Boer, and supported by the likes of ING, FMO, MHP, SAP, itelligence, Agrarian Fund, Immer Group, Credendo and Kyivstar.

The Dutch Forum highlights the synergies that exist between the 2 leading global agrifood exporters and innovators and a huge number of invaluable business contacts are made each year.
