Where We Are

Ukraine

The largest granary of Europe, as the cereal sector of Ukraine is known, has great potential of natural resources, in addition to an enviable geographic and logistic position to supply cereals for domestic consumption, and also to export to the European Union (EU), Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Near East mainly.

Wheat fields in Ukraine - The breadbasket of Europe

Exports in the last decade have marked great relevance in the Ukrainian agrarian international market, both in the cereal sector and in other sectors such as rapeseed, sunflower oil and seeds mainly.

Ukraine's agricultural area occupies 41.5 million ha

Ukraine's agricultural area occupies 41.5 million ha (70% of total area), with the population dedicated to the agricultural sector being 17% of the employed population and 7% of the total population of almost 43 million, excluding Crimea. The area dedicated to cereal cultivation exceeds 28 million ha representing 67% of total agricultural area, a very high percentage that places the cereal sector as the main crop in Ukraine.

Relations with the European Union

The agricultural sector and especially cereals, represent a primordial role in relations with the EU and especially with Spain, the world's first corn importer and second in wheat.

Therefore, we consider the cereal sector of this country to be of interest for Spain, which needs to supply itself with wheat and corn mainly at competitive prices, without import tariffs and with fast, affordable and cheap maritime transport that a country like Ukraine can offer.

Since we made our first grants here, we have worked closely with different organizations, academia, the private sector and civil society to help advance the country on the path to becoming a European country and sharing the ideas and technologies developed in Ukraine throughout the world.
