The 2nd Annual Ukrainian Agro-Industrial & Food Forum

The Ukrainian Agro-Industrial & Food Forum has quickly established itself as the premier gathering for senior executives and stakeholders from 2 of the leading global agrifood exporters and innovators.

The Forum first took place at the end of May 2018 in Amsterdam, in partnership with the Ukrainian Embassy in the Netherlands and the Ukrainian Dutch Joint Business Council with its Co-Chairs, Oleksiy Pavlenko and Hans De Boer, and supported by ING, FMO, Evris Law Firm, Immer Group, Credendo and Kyivstar.

The Forum highlights the synergies that exist between the 2 major agricultural countries and more than 120 attendees, drawn equally from the 2 countries and their neighbours, made invaluable business contacts in the course of last year’s event.

With this year’s Forum taking place in Rotterdam, there will be a strong focus on trading, logistics and infrastructure, alongside such key topics as financing, AgTech, growth markets and exports, trade and investment dynamics, organic production and moving up the value chain.

The idea for the Forum was formed at our flagship annual Agribusiness Forum, which takes place in Kyiv each November – a key date in the Ukrainian agribusiness calendar with such influential partners as the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation, Credit Agricole, the Rada Agrarian Committee, IFC, EBRD, US-Ukraine Business Council and the Ukrainian Grain Association. The efficient and productive 1-day format manages to cover the widest spectre of topics, including financing and investment, innovations & agtech, new export markets, agriholdings’ corporate strategies and logistics and infrastructure.
