New Year’s holidays are not over, but farmers are again on the streets of Kiev with pickets – “Against the sale of land”. It seems that consensus will be very difficult, and somebody will outweigh in the issue of launching the market or the circulation of agricultural land. Sociology on the subject is changing as well in turbo mode!

Muddy prophecy: a market for Ukraine’s farm land

23.03.2018 12:09

It’s not a stretch to say that Ukraine’s 40 million hectares of farmland is one of the world’s biggest opportunities in agriculture. Spreading from the grassy steppe of the nation’s east to the Carpathian forests in the west, Europe’s ancient breadbasket could feed one billion people—if used well.

Q&A with Cargill chief executive Greg Page on the gifts that nature gave to Ukraine.

Agribusiness losses mount amid damaging "Great Grain Robbery"

Morgan Williams writes: Ukraine's huge potential is being unmet.

Ukraine historically has been called “the breadbasket of Europe.” Even this underestimates Ukraine’s potential. The nation today can be a huge “market basket” of high-value products, not a “breadbasket” of low-value products.

FT: Investment climate will determine yield (Andriy Yarmak)

Amid all the doom and gloom, one sector in the country’s economy has a bright future and promises high yields. Despite a deep recession that sent gross domestic product plunging 15 per cent last year, some budding domestic agribusinesses reported double-digit growth.

Thirteen reasons why farm sector’s potential unfulfilled

22.01.2010 09:50

Due to populism and poor government policies, the pace of development is extremely disappointing. Ukraine has recovered its reputation as the breadbasket of Europe by posting record harvests in recent years, more than 52 and 48 million tons of grain in the past two seasons, respectively. Moreover, investment into the sector has increased sharply. However, I think that the pace of development is extremely disappointing and that Ukrainian governments did everything possible with poor policies to slow it down. Had they not, Ukraine’s agriculture sector would already be generating much larger harvests and at least twice as much value as it generates today.
