As recognized by analysts of ABN AMRO Bank from Netherlands, Ukraine is
ranked the first among the countries with promising markets, including the
market of agricultural products. The Dutch financiers are convinced that the
Ukrainian agrarian market has great prospects and deserves more attention of
investors. This assessment particularly applies to the sphere of agricultural
machinery and feed production.
Oleksii Pavlenko, the Minister of
Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, highly appraised the prospects of
cooperation between Ukraine and the Netherlands in agriculture. According to
the Minister, Ukraine constantly expands the distribution markets for agrarian
products and develops partnerships with the countries of the West, including
the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
“The Netherlands will hopefully open their
market for Ukrainian products. Meanwhile, Dutch manufacturers will find new
opportunities, to make up for the losses inflicted by the Russian sanctions,
for their own goods on the Ukrainian market. That is why Ukraine is attractive
for the Dutch agricultural sector”, Oleksii Pavlenko stressed.
According to the bank’s report, the foreign
trade with Ukraine is increasingly western-oriented and the agrarian sector of
Ukraine can be attractive for Dutch investors. The financiers of ABN AMRO noted
that Ukraine was one of the most significant agricultural regions of the World.

On November 26-27, Oleksii

Economic Affairs and the Minister of Agriculture of the Netherlands, where the
parties discussed the prospects of bilateral cooperation between the countries
and the necessity to hold the following session of the Working Group on
agriculture.
