On April 23, the second day of the 24th International Conference BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV-2026 kicks off, continuing the strategic dialogue in an online format and bringing together international experts around key challenges and opportunities in the agricultural market. Following a strong offline opening in Kyiv, participants move into deeper analysis of global trends and new-season forecasts.

Analysts from УкрАгроКонсалт will present their view on competitive dynamics in the Black Sea region, outlining key risks, trade flows, and opportunities for Ukrainian exports.

A strong focus of the program is placed on international markets. During the presentations, experts from Turkey, Brazil, and India will share up-to-date insights on the development of their agricultural sectors. Topics include Turkey’s trade strategies in the Black Sea basin, key drivers of the MERCOSUR markets, and the outlook for India’s oilseed sector.
