Introduction

The UK-Ukraine Political, Free Trade and Strategic Partnership Agreement signed by both governments in London in October opens up significant opportunities for business from both countries, not least in the agricultural sector.

Typically the UK imports about 40% of its food requirements. With Brexit taking effect this year, Ukraine is well-positioned to step in as a major contributor to UK food security. Ukraine has already established itself as a major player on global agricultural markets – for example, in the latest agricultural year, Ukraine was ranked #2 agri exporter to the European Union and also #2 global grain exporter.

Therefore we have convened the UK-Ukraine Agribusiness Webinar, which is scheduled for Tuesday, 16^th March at 14:00 GMT, and which is being held in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine in the UK.

Members of the expert speaker panel include Ukraine’s Trade Representative, Ambassador to the UK, The Head of the State Food Standards Agency, the top executive from one of Ukraine’s leading exporters (and head of the most influential agribusiness grouping), as well as representatives of UK agricultural groups active in Ukraine.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the opportunities being created as agricultural trade between the UK and Ukraine is set to enter a period of impressive and sustained growth.
