The Ukrainian Grain Association and the information-analytical agency APK-Inform announce the latest edition of the Ukrainian Agrarian Congress.

As in 2014/15, the Congress will be held in three rounds. Each round will focus on the most topical issues of development of the world and Ukrainian agricultural business.

The first round of the Ukrainian Agrarian Congress will be held in Kiev, Ukraine, on October 15-16, 2015.

To date, establishing effective dialogue between agribusiness and government is still the main purpose of the agricultural sector in Ukraine. Key rules of the agricultural sector: have they have changed over the past year? What are the results of the Ukrainian government's work, and what have any enacted reforms caused? Reporting aspects and other issues will be discussed within the framework of the Ukrainian Agrarian Congress, which will also cover the issues of functioning of the world and Ukrainian agricultural markets and provide forecasts for long-term development of the market.
