The Government has adopted the Strategy for the Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas in Ukraine until 2030 and approved an operational plan for its implementation in 2025-2027. The decision was made at a regular meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
This was announced by Vitalii Koval, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food.
“Today we have adopted a historic document – the Agriculture Development Strategy 2030. The goal of the Strategy is to prepare the agricultural sector for Ukraine’s accession to the EU. Therefore, it is indeed a document that serves not only as our guiding light but also as a mandatory requirement for a candidate country to join the European Union. It is a roadmap for how we will develop our agriculture,” Vitalii Koval said.
In particular, the document provides for the sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas. It also creates favourable conditions for the formation of a competitive, sustainable and diversified agricultural sector that ensures long-term food security, enhances environmental protection, including biodiversity, mitigates climate change and strengthens the socio-economic structure of rural areas.
