Ukraine is actively expanding opportunities for domestic farmers and modernizing the agro-industrial sector with the support of international partners. One of the key projects is the completion of a new production line at the “Grocery Products Factory” in the Kyiv region, which will specialize in the production of steamed buckwheat groats. This line is expected to have a capacity of up to 30 tons of products per day, and an additional boiler house will be built to provide steam for production capacities. Currently, the enterprise can store up to 600 tons of raw materials at once, primarily working with buckwheat and millet, and plans to expand its product range to include peas, wheat, and barley in the future.

International Financial Support for Agricultural Producers
As part of the World Bank’s ARISE project, Ukraine will receive a grant of 50 million US dollars, which will be directed towards the restoration and development of the agricultural sector. With this funding, farmers will be able to obtain additional grants to expand their farms, invest in modern technologies, and increase production efficiency.
Cooperation with Italy to Support Farmers in Odesa Region
Additionally, Ukraine and Italy have signed two agreements aimed at supporting farmers in the Odesa region. The first project focuses on the development of small and medium-sized farms, particularly on creating cooperatives, purchasing equipment and machinery, as well as organizing training and consulting support. This initiative will be funded by the Italian side. The second agreement involves the modernization of irrigation systems, including the reconstruction of the Tatarbunary and Kiliya irrigation systems, for which 6 million euros have been allocated.
“The first agreement concerns a project that will help small and medium farmers create cooperatives, obtain modern equipment, machinery, training, and consulting support. The initiative will be funded by Italy.”
Thanks to such large-scale initiatives, Ukraine is gaining new opportunities to enhance the competitiveness of its agricultural sector, while farmers are receiving additional resources to develop their businesses and implement modern agricultural technologies.
