Four Astarta’s top managers on their out-of-the-box approach to management, leadership, and team interaction

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, all aspects of life have changed. Values, meanings and interaction models are being transformed, and the corporate dimension is no exception. However, people are the critical element in resolving crisis issues.

Astarta is one of those companies where the management system and team interaction are based on the principle of “peer-to-peer”: each employee can show their best abilities, change roles and participate in management decisions. In turn, managers are multifunctional and flexible.

On May 2, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law terminating the agreement between the government of Ukraine and the government of the Syrian Arab Republic on trade, economic and technical cooperation.

This was reported by the press service of the parliament.

Organic exports, especially to the EU, have improved during the full-scale war. Facing problems with logistics, in August 2022, an agreement on unblocking Ukrainian sea ports came into force. Overall, organic exports to Europe (the EU, Norway, Switzerland) in 2022 exceeded exports in 2021 by 15.2%.

Despite the full-scale war, Ukrainian organic producers launched new value-added organic products in 2022. These included fruit rolls, different types of instant porridge and cream soups, nectarine juice and essential oils.
