The most influential event in Ukraine’s agricultural market — the international conference GRAIN UKRAINE 2026 — will take place on June 4–5 in Kyiv. This year’s key theme is “The New Grain Order.”
Top executives from the grain market, logistics sector, food industry, and financial sector will gather in Kyiv to discuss industry development prospects, analyse the impact of security risks and climate change on the sector’s economy, and develop solutions to help Ukrainian agribusinesses adapt more effectively to new conditions.
Key topics this year include:
- The global grain and oilseeds market under geopolitical pressure: how shifts in the global order are redistributing roles, flows, and margins
- Ukraine’s future — a grain exporter or a solutions provider? Is a transition to exporting agri-tech, services, and expertise possible?
- Quotas, regulations, and compromises: under what conditions is Ukraine ready to trade with the EU after the emergency regime ends?
- The buyer sets the rules: how can Ukrainian agribusiness maintain margins as production costs rise?
- Crushing in Ukraine: can the country become a European hub for oilseed processing, and what is required?
- How can the grain market reduce dependence on a few major buyers and build sustainable geographical diversification of sales?
- Energy from the field: a new profit driver or an expensive experiment? Which business models and energy solutions are already working in Ukrainian agribusiness?
- Sea or land? How to build export logistics that do not depend on a single route and can withstand crisis scenarios
- Deferred demand for financing, investment, and M&A is starting to materialise. Is this the right time, and are the conditions favourable?
- Financing the agricultural sector: new opportunities or still a survival phase? Who currently has real access to funding and on what terms?
