Ukraine's largest agrarian conference since war broke out Grain Ukraine-2023 to be held in Kyiv

The largest agrarian conference since the beginning of the war, Grain Ukraine-2023, will take place in Kyiv. The event will be held on May 30-31 and is organized by IdeasFirst, the TIS terminal group, and the Neptune grain terminal.

Andriy Stavnitser, co-owner of the TIS terminal group and founder of the Grain Ukraine conference, invites agricultural market titans to meet and discuss plans for the future:

“This year, perhaps every child in the world learned that their favourite breakfast comes from Ukraine. Before the war, it wasn't so obvious, but today we are at the forefront of global food security with you. The price is high, but it has already happened. And we can turn this misfortune into an opportunity. Our voice is now louder than ever, and we can even influence the chaos that is happening now in global geopolitics.”

This year's main topic is "Ukrainian agrarian business: development in times of war."

At Grain Ukraine-2023, the following issues will be addressed:

• How the agricultural sector is adapting to wartime conditions.
• The changes taking place in logistics routes.
• Sales forecasts for Ukrainian grain in major markets.
• Investment prospects for deep processing in Ukraine.
• Where to find funding for survival and development.

For the first time as part of Grain Ukraine, the New Food Summit will take place, during which experts will discuss investment opportunities and prospects for the development of agro-processing in wartime.
