FOREWORD

Olga Trofimtseva

Acting Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine

Ukraine is modern and fast developing European country which is open for bilateral trade, cooperation, mutual investment projects and responsible business partnerships.

Agricultural and food sectors are among the most dynamic and powerful in our country`s economy. Today Ukraine is the leader in sunflower oil production and export worldwide. But it`s not the only one example of the excellent work of our agricultural and food exporters during last years. We are the fourth in export of corn and the seventh in wheat production globally. But Ukrainian agriculture now is not only about production and exports of main commodities or food security of the world, it’s about modern technologies and innovations, it’s about start-ups and new ideas in life sciences.

According to the current statistics, Ukrainian agricultural export has reached $18,8 bln in 2018 with steady tendency to growth. We are selling our products globally and Israel has already become one of the most important trade partners for Ukraine in agricultural and food sectors. Ukraine’s export of agricultural products to Israel in 2018 was $337,2 mln which is almost 60% of the overall Ukraine’s exports to Israel. But we are still looking for the new opportunities in our bilateral economic relations. I really hope that this trade mission to Israel creates powerful impulses for the increasing of our trade and cooperation in agricultural and food sectors.

From the Ministry of agricultural policy and food of Ukraine I wish great success to the companies from Ukraine and Israel in their businesses and many new contacts and contracts!
