On April 22–23, Kyiv will host the BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV-2026 conference, with a key focus on UA Agro Restart: Strategies for the Future 2026–2030.
This was announced by the event organizers, UkrAgroConsult, who noted that BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV-2026 will focus on the strategic development of the agricultural sector through 2030: investment, energy independence, processing, and the export of high value-added products.
The conference will also address export strategies for the Black Sea and Danube region, the current geopolitical context, and competitive pressure on the global food market.
Agribusiness is not only maintaining its position in the market, but also shaping Ukraine’s new economy. The war has not stopped agricultural producers — it has hardened them. The market has undergone a radical transformation, but agribusiness continues to maintain its ambitions, launch new areas of activity, and invest in long-term solutions.
SMART registration is available until March 31 — make sure to take advantage of it.
For reference: the BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV-2026 conference is held with the support of the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Grain Association, the Ukroliyaprom Association, the Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation, the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine, the Donau Soja Association, and GAFTA.
