Ukraine Remains Attractive for Investment, Especially in the Agricultural Sector
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.
This was stated by Pavlo Koval, CEO of the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation (UAC), during a broadcast on Ukrainian Radio.
«Even today, investments continue to enter the agricultural sector, albeit slowly and in relatively small volumes. New dairy farms are being launched, despite the fact that this is a long-term investment with a payback period of up to 10 years. New orchards are also being established, which is another example of a long-term investment and demonstrates investors’ willingness to enter the business for the long haul. There are also renewable energy projects in agricultural production and the food industry. Therefore, Ukraine remains attractive for investment, although pre-war institutional issues have not yet been resolved, including corruption risks, the functioning of the judicial system, and other challenges,» Pavlo Koval noted.
According to him, these issues must be addressed as quickly as possible. There is a significant amount of investment capital available globally, and in order to attract it to Ukraine, the country must prepare an appropriate legal framework.
