The government will soon expand support programmes for retail chains affected by russian attacks.

Ukraine is attracting international financial support for farmers.

Ukraine has officially appealed to the EU with a request for €220 million in assistance for a specific purpose — to compensate interest on loans for agricultural producers. They need these funds to carry out the autumn sowing campaign and continue their operations amid export difficulties caused by the shutdown of Black Sea ports.

The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine has appealed to the European Commission to consider allocating €220 million in non-repayable support to compensate interest payments on loans for Ukrainian small and medium-sized agricultural producers. Such a contribution would enable a credit portfolio of up to €4 billion to finance farmers’ working capital, with the final interest rate for borrowers not exceeding 10% per annum.

The government has approved an emergency support package for Ukrainian farmers in response to Russian terror in the Black Sea and the blockade of export routes. The total amount of lending available under the programme will be up to UAH 80 billion.

Using alternative logistics routes will cost agricultural producers an additional €50–70 per tonne of products, while the total losses of Ukraine’s agricultural sector could amount to $1.5–3 billion. This is why the support of international partners is critically important both for Ukraine and for preserving global food security.


This week, the government will adopt a decision to partially reimburse farmers for the cost of Ukrainian-made compound mineral fertilizers.

Many experts and practitioners note that Ukraine is likely to experience an investment boom after victory, and relevant funds are already preparing for it. However, it is difficult to predict the exact timeframe and the risks that may remain. At the same time, Ukraine continues to maintain its investment attractiveness even under current conditions.

The value of agricultural land in Ukraine may increase by 80-100% in dollar terms over the next three years.
