The discussion focused on the resilience of the Ukrainian agricultural sector in times of war, the search for new logistics routes, the work and agreements on the grain corridor, the vision and strategy for integrating EU norms for Ukrainian agricultural producers, and other issues.
Taras Vysotsky emphasized that the Ukrainian agricultural sector has shown that it can quickly adapt to work in war conditions even despite the loss of production. He noted that in 2023, agricultural production will decline by 10% compared to 2022, but productivity, exports, and the domestic market will be maintained.
In recent weeks, the issue of maintaining exports of Ukrainian products has been important. He emphasized that due to the restrictions on the grain corridor, Ukraine is exporting more agricultural products to the EU. And the European Commission's decision to extend the zero duty on exports from Ukraine for another year is a very positive signal and support.
The event was also attended by Yuriy Vaskov, Deputy Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, and representatives of the French business community.
