У The project of the Plan for the recovery of Ukraine from the consequences of the war in the direction of “New Agrarian Policy” outlines the action plan in the agro-food sector for the period of wartime, post-war recovery and the next stage – development. This is reported by the information agency “Interfax-Ukraine”.
The plan clearly assigns values to the state in terms of how it should further develop. And although it is currently impossible to determine how long the war will last, there are indications that post-war recovery will take 1-2 years, and development – 5-7.
As First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Taras Vysotsky notes, the state relies on the support of European partners in the development of logistics. Even if it is indirect, it will still contribute to the improvement of prices, and therefore will enable agricultural production to be profitable.
International companies continue to make plans for cooperation with Ukrainian business, believe in our victory and support the farmer as a partner.
Since the beginning of the war, all partners (international companies operating in the agricultural market of Ukraine) have been urged to use their resources – internal and external – to the maximum extent possible to attract financing.
“The program must work and carry socially useful goals – this is our goal,” states Taras Vysotskyi.
The Ukrainian agricultural sector has long been deeply integrated from the point of view of international processes. We have the latest developments available in terms of technology supply and export. And here it is worth continuing the chosen path, because the future lies in innovation.
In the near future, every farmer will try to cover at least several directions. And this also means that the portfolio of products of companies supplying natural resources, seeds and fertilizers should become more diverse. In addition, they will have to be flexible, because each farmer will have his own strategy, although all of them have it aimed at diversification. There is global readiness, we just need to adapt and learn to offer these solutions in Ukraine.
It is certain that the sector will change after the victory. It will become even more stress-resistant thanks to the diversification of production. Business is already returning to animal husbandry, there is demand for greenhouses and gardens, for processing, and production of value-added food products. The possibilities of using biomethane and biogas are being actively studied. Some projects have already been launched. The farmers themselves will work according to the principle “less is better, but the most effective result”.
