2012Also available in:
No results found.Ukraine is a country with well-developed agricultural traditions, where the aggregate of agro-climatic factors and the high quality of land resources favor the cultivation of cereal crops, in particular, wheat. Wheat is the most popular agricultural crop, with more than half of all Ukrainian agro-businesses being engaged in its production. Wheat accounts for 40% to 50% in the cereal crops production. Despite the quality potential of spring varieties, it is the winter wheat growing that prevails in Ukraine. The share of winter crops in the gross yield has averaged around 95.3% in the past five years. It should be noted that spring crops were virtually not sown in this country until early '90s –only 25,700 tons was gathered in 1990, making less than 0.1% of the total wheat harvest. -

No results found.Agriculture is a key sector of the national economy of Ukraine, accounting for approximately one sixth of Gross Domestic product (GDP). The country became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2008, and signed the Association Agreement with the European Union (EU) at the end of 2014. This has led to new export opportunities in the agricultural and food processing sectors. At the same time, new policy approaches, instruments and institutions are needed to support further growth, as well as reforms to make these sectors more effective and competitive. Against this background, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine (MAPF) prepared the Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development 2015-2020. The overall objective of the strategy was to increase the competitiveness of the agricultural and food sectors and trade, and to promote rural development in a sustainable manner, in line with EU legislation and international standards. The Government of Ukraine requested that FAO provide technical assistance and policy support for MAPF in the implementation of the strategy in the following principal areas: i) land reform; ii) agrifood-chain development; and iii) improved access to internationalmarkets. -
