BLACK SEA GRAIN & OIL-2023.
THE WAY TO RECOVERY

Uniting efforts for the recovery and development of agricultural Ukraine!

2023/24 will become a season of great changes. War challenges brought unparalleled transformations in Ukrainian grain and oilseed industry and require market operators to act outside the box, search for new strategies and niches for cooperation and investment. Major players already consider new projects and are looking for partners willing to take risks and invest right now. Agriculture and processing are the industries that will restore Ukraine’s GDP the fastest and where we need to invest now.

September 2023 will be a perfect time to discuss the short- and long-term market forecasts, investments, logistics and exports to plan the recovery and development of the agricultural sector.

The conference will bring together agri producers, grain and oilseed processors, agriholdings, food, seed and agrochemical companies, finance and logistics sector, traders and exporters to establish effective interaction between all players in the commodity supply chain.

Key issues to discuss:

1
Ukraine and the world. The season of great changes. Forecasts for grain and oilseed markets
2
Changes in the structure and technologies of crop production, inputs sector, agricultural lands
3
Ukrainian farmer's margin as a factor of oilseeds area expansion in 2023
