FIELD WORKS

Eastern Ukrainian Field day will be held at AGROPORT On the 7th of October at the demonstration fields of V.V. Dokuchaev Kharkiv National University of Agriculture within the framework of International forum ‘Agroport’, the Eastern Ukrainian Field day will be conducted.

This year’s Field day will be devoted to the harvesting of sunflower seeds and the soil preparation for sowing this crop that is very important for the region. The positive experience of conducting such an informative and practical event for farmers was started two years ago under the aegis of the Kharkiv Tractor Plant.

The rebirth of such format of specialistsagrarians communication became possible due to the close cooperation of the forum organizers with V.V. Dokuchaev Kharkiv National University of Agriculture.

Such support and cooperation in practice gives the opportunity for farmers to

Agroport

gain knowledge of how to improve and increase their harvest not only in theory, but in practice.

The practice of holding such demonstrations is dictated by the state of the machinery market and a variety of choice variants. Distributors and manufacturers of agricultural equipment and machines can demonstrate in this region all the benefits of their goods. And important factor in purchasing for farmer and agricultural producer is the reliability and the ability to obtain service and maintenance of this equipment.

Within the framework of demonstration this year farmers will be able to see the machinery of the following brands: JOHN DEER, MERLO, STOLL, CASEIN, AMAZONE, KRONE, WEIDEMANN, DEUTZFAHR, JYMPA, APV, UkrSilgosprom, and other domestic producers.

Considering the fact that the forum's audience is wide, demonstration shows will also include test drives of the modern automotive vehicle. Among the new products to be presented on this day, it will be possible to test ‘SUZUKI’ and ‘МАN’ off-road-vehicles, as well as quadricycles from the ‘VRP CENTER’ (Kharkiv).

Thanks to the collective of the Kharkiv National University of Agriculture, which celebrates its 201st anniversary this year, the Field day will have solemn atmosphere involving the music collectives of the University. City picnic and ‘delicious’ service to the audience of the event will be held thanks to the partners of the forum - restaurant ‘Polit’ and ‘Carlsberg Ukraine’ company. Entrance is free.

WORLD FOOD DAY

Investment in food security and agricultural development

‘AGROPORT is an interesting platform where it is possible to talk about urgent problems both world and Ukrainian. Today we are paying special emphasis to the problems connected with development of rural areas and migratory flows. FAO is starting to implement a number of serious projects aimed at solving or simplifying the problems of people who are forced to migrate,’ said Mykhailo Malkov, FAO Development Coordinator in Ukraine.

FAO confirm that migration could be a good way to spread the new knowledge, skills or workforces that speed up the economic growth in different regions of Ukraine or even in the new country, provided that such migration will be free-will, but not forced.

FAO is working to give people the opportunity choice and eliminate a number of primary migration causes, including hunger, poverty and the effects of climate change.

Under the slogan: Let's change the future!

Invest in food supply security!

Urgency of the food supply security issue is not reduced either with the change in the world political system, nor with the scientific and technological progress of the world civilization, but remains one of the most contemporary issues. Over the past 50 years the problem is being solved both by the scientific and world organizations, and by the authorities and business from different countries. The more, recently, the migration problem has captured almost the whole world.

Traditionally, on the eve of the World Food Day, AGROPORT together with FAO gathered a round table entitled as ‘Let’s change the Future of Migration Flows - Invest in food supply security and Agriculture Development’. The purpose of this event was the discussion of how to help participants to understand FAO’s new recommendations and international standards more profoundly.

The nowadays problem in almost all countries is the migration. The reasons are different: family reunification, searching of the good job, acquiring new skills or better life. According to statistics, in 2015, every seventh inhabitant of the planet became a migrant. The most vulnerable is the rural population; more than 75% of the rural people depend on agriculture or other activities in the non-urban area.

During the round table FAO emphasized that one of the priority areas should be the development of rural areas. This will help partially eliminate the factors that make people move, by creating opportunities for economic activities and workspaces of young people, that are not related to farming(for example, small enterprises producing milk or poultry, food processing or gardening). It will also affect the strengthening of food security.

‘Since 2015, we pay special attention to Migration problems in the Eastern regions of Ukraine. Our program is aimed at people who have been forced to change their place of living, could fully use their potential in a new place.

So that the work in agricultural area could distract them from pressing issues. Because, the development of rural areas is more related to agriculture,’ said Farrukh Toirov, FAO Resident Coordinator for Emergency Response in Ukraine.

Another question that was raised during the round-table discussion is the infrastructure of the food market in Ukraine. The problem is that the food market infrastructure of Ukraine is underdeveloped. And that is why there is a series of complications in almost all work processes. AIC needs the effective creation of the conditions for perfect infrastructure, the most problematic is the banking system and logistics. Exactly these elements of the infrastructure should ensure the free movement of agricultural raw materials and food within and outside the state.

But as the experience of past years has shown, reforms in these areas are being implemented rather slowly. Many problems remained unresolved.

‘In terms of migration Lviv region is attractive

for residents from all Ukraine, both in agricultural and in geographical, cultural and other directions. But there is a big problem with seasonal labour migration abroad. This is facility of the obvious factors: proximity to the borders, visa-free arrangements, and the difference in wages. We understand all these problems, but for today there are no concrete solutions.

The only way we consider is the support for the development of agrarian businesses,’ said Natalia Khmyz, Director of the Department of Agricultural Development of Lviv Oblast State Administration.

FAO also expressed strong support for the creation of effective and sustainable value added chains with the participation of small and medium-sized agricultural producers, and the development of agrarian businesses.

‘The agricultural sector is a key direction in the Eastern region, especially in the Kharkiv region.

This is promoted as the geographic location and the fertile soils. A great advantage is the availability of a powerful scientific potential.

But there are a number of issues that affecting the development of agriculture. Such as: logistics, renovation of technical equipment, land reform, etc. Today's priority is to reform the Ukrainian agro-industrial complex and to attract investments in the development of our region and the whole Ukraine,’ said Alexander Nedzyr, Director of the Department of Agricultural Development of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration.

'Also, there was presented the Southern region of Ukraine where for the first time AGROPORT will start in 2018 ‘Kherson region was the first in Ukraine to implement organic farming. As they say, Crimea looks at Ukraine through Kherson. We are trying to create favourable conditions for living in our region. There is the Next Generation Project for the rural areas

residences. This program is aimed at providing the opportunity to receive free higher education in agriculture area. There are many advantages and conditions for business dealing. By the way, we have a great airline with a wide coverage map, both in Ukraine and abroad.

The first indicators of our work are the regular visits of the potential investors to our region, because we have where to invest!’- presented his region Yevhen Rischuk, deputy of the Kherson regional state administration.

Well, at the round table, another urgent and important issue of the European integration of agribusiness projects was raised, and the support of these projects by the Ministry of Agroindustrial Complex. The legislative aspect of the European integration of agro-industrial projects is the key to reforming the industry in accordance to the requirements, principles and standards set out in the Association Agreement with the European Union. Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, responsible for the industry development, taking an active part not only in the establishment of production and export of agricultural products, and also in legislative activity.

Thanks to AGROPORT, who gathered and presented different regions of Ukraine with different potential and problem situations.

Today's dialogue is important for all those present, because the issues which are raised today are urgent and require special attention.

I want to pay attention to how the opinion changes in the regions, the remainders of the Soviet mentality disappear.

KHARKIV REGIONAL STATE ADMINISTRATION

success in the sustainable growth is the privategovernment cooperation. The state must ensure the formation of social dialogue. Only in cooperation between States and business is possible rapid and effective conducting of the structural reforms, ensuring economic growth, creation of favourable conditions for economic business management.

Poverty reduction through full population employment, high cost of work force , the accumulation of human and social capital, the development of entrepreneurial activity of the population, the strengthening of the middle class, the improvement of social standards and guarantees, also the provision of the necessary social support to vulnerable groups of the population.

This year, we are entering into partnership with FAO upon the project aimed at struggle against soil erosion, restoration of the forest belt. These projects are one of the most important for us.

174 countries buy food produced in Ukraine.

But the potential of both yield and export is much higher than today. in furtherance of these ambitious goals, Ukraine lacks investments,’ for the agribusiness part finalized John Shmorgun, president of AgroGeneration.

«Special attention should be paid to the creation of a favourable climate investment by means of raising the reputation of Ukraine on the world market, all speakers came to such a conclusion.»

Environment in the regions is globally changing, there is a progressive vision of development ‘finalize the aforecited OlgaTrofimtseva, Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine on European Integration.

the creation of positive conditions in the region for the effective management of agribusiness and the indifference of local authorities to the image of the region. Work in the direction of preparing the forum ‘Agroport South Kherson 2018’ is already in full swing, and we hope for an unindifference to it from international investors’, — said Dmytro Tytarenko in his speech.

At the investment forum in Kherson a general concept of the upcoming event and key topics that will be discussed at the extended program in the summer of 2018 will be announced. Three days of the event, which, according to Agroport tradition, will take place at the airport, will be devoted to each of its themes: Agribusiness Day, Farmer's Day, and Field Day. Preliminary agreements between the region's authorities and organizers were concluded on a wide range of topics and issues that should be exposed throughout the program, therefore, in addition to the topics of

traditional industries of the Southern Ukraine, it is planned to rise up questions of cultivation, winemaking, logistics, horticulture and organic production. The large-scale stationary exhibition of machinery, products and technologies, which will be presented at the demonstration shows and master classes during all three days, is going to be the anchor of ‘Agroport East Kherson’. Unlike other airports, only Kherson has a potential agrarian test-site on the territory adjacent to the terminal.

In addition, the organizers plan to admit the best farming and agricultural enterprises within the framework of the Independent Award ‘AGROPORT Awards Kherson’, which traditionally accompanies all the activities of this brand and takes place as part of a business dinner.

Information sheet: International Investment Forum in Kherson region «Tavrian Horizons»: cooperation, investment, economics development» is traditionally held for the purpose of development of the region and attracting investments.

The event brings together about 650 participants from different countries of the world and regions of Ukraine, including representatives of the diplomatic corps, foreign delegations. Last year the concept has been changed for the first time: from a presentation-formal format, the event has become an effective business platform.

Thanks to the Forum, 13 investment projects were implemented, which allowed to generate about 500 workplaces in the Kherson region.

X International Investment Forum in Kherson region ‘Tavrian Horizons: cooperation, investment, economics development’ was held on the 29-30th of September, 2017 at Nova Kakhovka city of the Kherson region.

The concept of the event will be devoted to the prospects of the ‘green economy’ in Ukraine and the presentation of ‘’green projects’ of Kherson region.

International airport «Kherson» is a municipal enterprise of Kherson Regional State Administration with 70 years of history.

Currently it is at the stage of reconstruction and expansion of the flight map. In 2016, 49 million UAH was allocated for reconstruction of the airport from the Fund of Regional Development of the Kherson Region. The cover of the platform, the passenger halls have been renewed, the customs warehouses were repaired, the equipment for the runway was purchased, and so on. In 2016, more than 62.5 thousand passengers were attended at the international airport «Kherson».

Agricultural sector of Lviv region is persistently moving forward

Interview with Natalia Khmyz, the Director of the Department of Agricultural Development of Lviv Regional State Administration, about agricultural complex work for the 9 months of 2017. with winter canola, which is 95% of the forecast, and 1.7 thousand hectares of winter crops (0.4% of the forecast).

— And what about animal husbandry?

—The agricultural sector of the Lviv region is quickly and dynamically developing during the recent years. Has the area of tillable land increased this year?

—Yes, of course, there is less and less amount of untilled land remaining in our region with each passing year. The area of farming land in the Lviv region is 1261.5 thousand hectares, in particular, arable land - 794.1 thousand hectares.

676.9 thousand hectares were planted in 2017.

In addition, 16.5 thousand hectares of arable land were additionally involved into agricultural production, which allowed increasing the of arable land use from 83% to 85%.

2.8% of the agricultural land of Ukraine is located in Lviv region, which accounts for about 4% of the national gross agricultural product.

More than 1.2 thousand agricultural formations, including 788 farming enterprises, are engaged in production. In general, the agricultural sector employs more than 200 thousand people, including members of private farms.

I would like to emphasize that 19.4% of the gross value added of the region's economy is creating in agricultural complex of Lviv region.

Agroport

—Natalia Stepanivna, please tell about the situation in agricultural production this year.

—Agricultural producers of Lviv region have processed agricultural products with the total value of 5.1 billion UAH during January-August 2017. With all this, the index of gross agricultural production was 104.2% in comparison to the same period of the previous year. In crop husbandry, this indicator was 107.9%, while in animal husbandry it was 100.4%.

I note that our agricultural enterprises are the main producers of grain, sugar beet, canola and soybeans. Instead, more than 90% of potatoes, vegetables, fruit and berries, milk and eggs are produced by households. Meat is equally produced by both categories of farms.

— The 2017th year’s harvesting is in progress. What is the situation in Lviv region?

— As for the middle of September, 1 182 thousand tons of early grain were harvested.

This is 1.4 thousand tons more than in the same period last year. Also was threshed more buckwheat than last year - 1.5 thousand tons, more canola was grown - 12.7 thousand tons.

The farmers started preparing the soil and planting winter crops for the harvest of 2018.

48.8 thousand hectares of field were planted

— Lviv region is among the first ten regions of Ukraine in terms of agricultural livestock units, except sheep and goats. Our farms hold 267 thousands of cattle units. Lviv region is the third according to this indicator after Vinnytsia and Poltava regions. By the number of cows, the Lviv region is on the fourth place (122.5 thousand heads), on the fourth place by pigs (428.7 thousand heads.), on the fifth place by poultry (12059.3 thousand heads.) and on the eleventh place by sheep and goats (48.7 thousand head).

There is still a problem of decrease in cattle population, the main reason is that 92% of the population is kept in households. Today, 20 private households are working on their transformation into family farms. The modular design of a dairy farm for 10 cows with a closed production cycle has been developed, and there are 56 family farms in the region already.

— Lviv region continues to create and carry out new investment projects. Which ones of them would you mention?

— Lviv region is one of the few regions of Ukraine with an extremely attractive investment climate. This is facilitated by proximity to the EU border, remoteness from the zone of military conflicts, available infrastructure, market size, openness of local authorities.

This year, 36 investment projects are being implemented in the region. Among them - the construction / reconstruction of four premises for maintenance of pigs in a number of 10.8 thousand heads, five - for the maintenance of 930 heads of cattle, three - for the maintenance of 1,5 thousand units of goats, one - for maintenance of sheep - 100 heads, four for to maintenance 497 thousand chickens.

The construction of seven elevators with a total capacity of 81.1 thousand tons, one fruit storage facility for 1.5 thousand tons, one meat processing facility with a capacity of 3.5 thousand tons, a slaughter house with a capacity of 100 heads of cattle and 400

pigs per day, cheese-factory, workshops for making juices, workshop for bottling mineral water and two facilities for the production of hard biscuits is in process.

In 2017 new objects for crop and livestock production were opened. In particular, ‘Litynske’ LLC of the Drohobych district reconstructed livestock buildings for the maintenance of 1.6 thousand units of pigs, ‘Galica Greenery’ LTD in Busk brought into operation a second section of greenhouses for growing salad in an area of 4800 sq. m, and in 2017 it is planned to draw another 2.5 mln Euro. ‘Merinos-West’ farming enterprise of the Drohobych district opened livestock buildings for the maintenance of 700 heads of goats.

Barkom Ltd of Zolochivsky District put into operation the workshop for the production of cheese with a capacity of 300 kilograms per day.

— How is the rural area development in the Lviv region?

— On the initiative of the Department of Agricultural Development, a project ‘500 successful farms’ is being implemented in our region, aimed at reviving the village through self-employment and stimulating production by small producers of agricultural products.

The key task at this stage is to maximize the awareness of small producers and private farms in the successful management of the berry business. To this end we involve the best world experts, give a series of conferences and seminars. Within the framework of this project, 8 cooperatives, producers of vegetables and berries were opened. In the region there are: raspberries - 279,6 hectares, garden strawberries - 136,6 hectares, bilberries - 4,6 hectares, currants - 316,4 hectares, blackberries - 5,7 hectares.

— We know about Lviv’s interesting and successful experience in implementing international technical assistance projects.

What projects are being implemented this year?

— With the support of the Canadian Government, we continue to implement the project ‘Development of Dairy Business in Ukraine’. Its goal is to increase the profitability of small and medium-sized businesses in the dairy sector of Ukraine. In the first half of 2017, 12 new cow dairying facilities were developed in cooperatives and 9 points (including three new ones) of artificial insemination of cows were developed. 17 sets of equipment for collecting and storing milk, 12 milking parlors for milking cows in pastures were purchased and provided for use. I would like to note that many of the project activities are carried out with the direct participation of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Canada to Ukraine Roman Vaschuk. This project is being implemented in cooperation with the Lviv Agrarian Advisory Service. With the support of the French Embassy in Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development of France, we are implementing the project ‘Improving awareness and assessing the potential of valorisation of highquality food products in the Lviv region’.

According to the results of the first phase of the project, three local products were selected - beans, honey and brynza. A new cooperative for growing beans "Strijskij Yas" was registered, a soil analysis was carried out, and 0.18 hectares of beans were planted.

We are working with honey producers in the Lviv region, and we are developing a new marketing strategy for them to promote the unique ‘Carpathian honey’.

This year, in the Lviv region, implementation of the World Bank pilot project for the recruitment of low-income families and internally displaced persons has begun.

Through training and employment incentives it is planned to provide interest-free financial assistance to 111 people from low-income families and internally displaced persons to organize entrepreneurship. Six sessions of the Competition Commission were held, in which it was decided to provide interest-free financial assistance on a turn-based basis to 9 persons to start their own business, two of them - in the

field of agrarian business.

— What is the budget support for farmers in Lviv region this year?

— In 2017, 39.0 million UAH were allocated from the budgets of all levels in support of agricultural producers in the Lviv region. From the state budget, our farmers will receive 23.5 million UAH, 11.2 million UAH from region budget and 4.3 million UAH from districts budgets.

— A number of agricultural activities have been carried out in the region in 2017. What other measures are expected in the near future to the farmers of Lviv region and those who are interested in the development of agriculture in our region?

— In 2017, the X specialized exhibition ‘AgroTechnique-2017’, International Forum AGROPORT West (AGROPORT West) was organized, in the framework of which a number of seminars, conferences, round tables were held. The Agro-tourism cluster ‘Gorbogory’ was presented and the project of sectoral support ‘Development of rural entrepreneurship and infrastructure of the agro-tourist cluster’ Gorbogory’ was created.

Yes, autumn is an extraordinary time for agricultural producers, it is time for harvesting, summing up ... At this time, we organize a lot of interesting events and promos. In particular, this week we will hold a farmers' festival ‘The best landlord of Lviv region 2017’, which we want to make traditional. In October, within the framework of the International Economic Forum, we will organize a specialized agrarian panel ‘World Food Day’. In the beginning of November the culinary festival ‘HORECA’ will be held. In the late November, together with Polish colleagues from Kielce, we are preparing the second international exhibition ‘EuroAgro 2017’.

So we shall have an interesting and eventful autumn. We invite all agrarians of our region to participate in the events.
