Potential of the Agricultural Sector for Integration into the EU Market
Serhiy Tarasov, founder of the I&U Group agricultural holding, emphasized that despite the state of war, the Ukrainian agricultural sector demonstrates high resilience and readiness for integration into the European market. He highlighted that domestic farmers have long been operating according to EU standards, which has become the foundation of their business.
Tarasov also noted that significant opportunities are opening up for Ukraine in the areas of agricultural product processing, digitalization, and the development of bioenergy. In his opinion, these areas could position Ukraine as a leader in implementing the principles of a circular economy.
