About this event
Ukraine is now in the military, agrarian and informational frontlines.
Despite the military action and threats in our country, Ukraine continues to make a significant contribution to global food security – the sowing campaign 2022 is underway, alternative logistics routes are being developed to supply Ukrainian agricultural products abroad and the European Commission has abolished tariffs and quotas on Ukrainian exports, as well as suspended additional official controls on organic products originating from Ukraine applied in 2015-2021.
The development of the organic market remains one of the priorities of Ukraine's agricultural policy.
Therefore, we invite representatives of the organic sector, foreign partners and international buyers to join the online event «Organic Export During the War» with the participation of the Ukrainian Government representatives, local and international experts, business representatives. At the event you will receive the latest information about:
- Sowing campaign 2022 during martial law: current state and harvest forecasts.
- Overview of the organic sector of Ukraine and capacities of Ukrainian organic exporters.
- Government support programs.
- Ukrainian organic export prospects and sourcing opportunities of the State Institution «Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office».
