As of the end of August, 5.8 thousand notaries work in Ukraine, according to the Unified Register of Notaries of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the number of notaries has decreased by 11%. A quarter of all notaries in the country work in Kyiv. 82% of these professionals are women.
5,845 notaries work in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the number of notaries has decreased by an average of 200 professionals per year. In general, compared to 2021, there are now 11% fewer such specialists.
It is worth noting that the Register of Notaries is dynamic, as new lawyers are constantly added to it and specialists who are no longer authorized to practice notary work are removed. Accordingly, it is possible to compare the number of specialists only as of a specific date.
Most notaries are registered in Kyiv – 1,292 or 22%. Also, specialists choose to work in Dnipropetrovska oblast (451 (8)%), Lvivska oblast (446 or 8%), and Odeska oblast (420 or 7%).
Since the start of the full-scale notary campaign, the number of notaries has increased in relatively safe regions of the country: +5% in Cherkasy and Kyiv regions, +2% in Rivne and Vinnytsia regions. The only region where the number of notaries has not changed is Ternopil region: 132 specialists work there, as it was before the full-scale lockdown.
Instead, in the regions close to the frontline, the number of specialists has decreased: 20 times in Luhansk region, 4 times in Kherson and Donetsk regions, 1.8 times in Zaporizhzhia, and 1.3 times in Kharkiv region.
The majority of Ukrainian notaries are engaged in private practice – 88% or 5,139 of them. Another 12%, or 687 professionals nationwide, work in state notary offices and only 0.3% work in state notary archives.
The vast majority of Ukrainian notaries are women: 82% or 4,804 professionals. It should be noted that, unlike in many other areas, the full-scale war did not have much of an impact on the gender advantage in the notary profession: in 2021, there were 81% of women.

Agroholding Continental Farmers Group has started harvesting potatoes in the Ternopil and Lviv regions, where 2,100 hectares are allocated for cultivation, according to the agroholding’s press service.
“Harvesting is already underway in both regions where the company grows crops: in Lviv region, they started with chip potatoes, and in Ternopil region, with early seed varieties. In addition, Continental will also harvest food varieties. In total, the company will harvest tubers from an area of 2.1 thousand hectares this season,” the agricultural holding said, adding that potato harvesting will continue until the end of October.
Continental also said that in 2025, it purchased new machinery and equipment for potato production worth more than EUR 1.85 million. This includes Ukraine’s first self-propelled four-row third-generation potato harvester with a capacity of 460 hp, a trailer-transloader, a receiving hopper, an optical sorter, a potato picker, and equipment for calibrating and storing products.
As reported, Continental allocated 2,130 hectares for potatoes in the 2025 season, of which 60% are chip varieties, 24% are table varieties, and 16% are seed plots. The agricultural holding explained the 13% increase in the area under this crop compared to last year by the growth in demand for table potatoes and additional demand for the production of chip potatoes.
The Mriya agricultural holding and CFG, united under the name Continental Farmers Group, have been operating as a single business since November 2018, when Mriya signed an agreement with international investor Salic UK to sell its assets.
Salic was founded in 2012. Its sole shareholder is the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, which invests in agricultural and livestock production.
The Agrotrade agricultural holding has begun harvesting soybeans, sunflowers, and industrial hemp, according to a statement posted on its Facebook page.
“The campaign is underway simultaneously in several regions: soybeans in Kharkiv and Sumy regions, sunflowers in Kharkiv region, and industrial hemp in Chernihiv region. Currently, 9% of soybeans, 7% of sunflowers, and 54% of industrial hemp have been harvested,” the agricultural holding company said.
According to Alexander Ovsyannik, director of the agro-industrial department, industrial hemp has been harvested on almost half of the area, with yields within the norm.
“This is the third year of experimenting with this crop, and in the fall, we will decide whether to scale up this direction. As for soybeans and sunflowers, it is too early to draw conclusions: early soybeans were affected by drought, while late soybeans are still in good condition, and the situation with sunflowers depends on the region,” Ovsyannik said.
In the 2025 season, Agrotrade used 23 combine harvesters and about 60 trucks to quickly transport the harvest.
As reported, in 2025, Agrotrade allocated almost 13,000 hectares for soybeans, 11,000 hectares for sunflowers, and 333.5 hectares for industrial hemp.
The Agrotrade group of companies is a vertically integrated holding company with a full agro-industrial cycle (production, processing, storage, and trade in agricultural products). It cultivates more than 70,000 hectares of land in the Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, and Kharkiv regions. Its main crops are sunflower, corn, winter wheat, soybeans, and rapeseed. It has its own network of elevators with a one-time storage capacity of 570,000 tons.
The group also produces hybrid seeds of corn, sunflower, barley, and winter wheat. In 2014, a seed plant with a capacity of 20,000 tons of seeds per year was built on the basis of the Kolos seed farm (Kharkiv region). In 2018, Agrotrade launched its own brand, Agroseeds.
The founder of Agrotrade is Vsevolod Kozhemyako.

Schneider Electric launches Zeigo™ Hub, a scalable platform to accelerate the decarbonization of supply chains and achieve global net-zero ambitions
Schneider Electric, a global leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced the launch of Zeigo™ Hub by Schneider Electric, a powerful new digital platform designed to help organizations decarbonize their supply chains at scale. This innovative solution marks a significant step forward, enabling companies to achieve their Scope 3 emissions targets and move confidently and clearly toward net-zero emissions.
Global supply chains are increasingly under pressure from customers and regulators to report, disclose, and take action to reduce their emissions.
Zeigo Hub addresses this growing need for progress and transparency by offering a modular, action-oriented approach to sustainability. The platform enables organizations to engage suppliers of all sizes, track emissions across multiple tiers of suppliers, and achieve measurable results through training, tools, and expert support.
“A decarbonized supply chain is no longer just a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s a strategic necessity,” said Laura Eve, Vice President of SaaS Sustainability Solutions at Schneider Electric. “With Zeigo Hub, we are providing companies with the tools and analytics to help transform their supply chains into engines of sustainability.”
A new era of supplier engagement and innovation
Zeigo Hub is designed to engage suppliers at all stages of their sustainability journey, regardless of their size, maturity, or experience. The platform removes traditional barriers to participation with phased onboarding, a user-friendly interface, and built-in learning tools that allow suppliers to immediately begin calculating and managing their emissions.
Unlike static data collection tools, Zeigo Hub encourages two-way collaboration through personalized learning paths, decarbonization toolkits, and comparative analytics dashboards. This creates a dynamic and accessible environment where suppliers can make informed, measurable decisions and initiators (customers) can scale positive impact across their entire supply chain.
The platform’s powerful analytics engine provides real-time visualization of supplier engagement, emissions dynamics, and progress toward science-based targets.
The data is structured to support CDP, CSRD, and TCFD reporting, as well as internal sustainability reporting, ensuring transparency and compliance with global standards.
Each supplier invited to Zeigo Hub gets access to individual decarbonization roadmaps and verified solution providers, enabling real emissions reductions across the entire network. All participation costs are covered by the initiating company, removing financial barriers for suppliers and ensuring broad, inclusive engagement. As part of Schneider Electric, Zeigo Hub is an integral part of a global ecosystem of sustainability experts, advisory services, and decarbonization solutions, providing companies with deep support and trust that goes beyond traditional software.
Zeigo Hub leverages advanced agentic AI capabilities to accelerate decarbonization processes, improve data-driven decision-making, and scale impact across complex value chains. It is the first product launched as part of Schneider Electric’s AI-native ecosystem, unveiled on May 15, 2025, which combines the company’s leading expertise in sustainability with innovations in artificial intelligence. Thanks to agentic AI, the platform’s functionality improves and personalizes the user experience by simplifying data entry through web scraping and upload tools, tailoring invitations to participate, and providing additional oversight of the program on behalf of corporate sponsors.
Fostering global impact through collaboration
Schneider Electric is already a recognized leader in supply chain decarbonization, both through its collaboration with leading global brands and through its own award-winning internal initiative, the Zero Carbon Project.
Since 2021, the company has launched more than 20 global supply chain decarbonization programs, including the cross-industry initiatives Energize, Catalyze, and Materialize. Today, Schneider Electric collaborates with more than 40 brands that sponsor programs with over 2,700 registered suppliers.
Zeigo Hub will serve as the technological foundation and tool for collaborative action within supply chain decarbonization programs, making large-scale climate change more accessible than ever before. By facilitating collaboration between customers and suppliers, the platform helps companies foster a culture of continuous improvement and shared responsibility. This approach not only accelerates emissions reduction, but also increases supply chain resilience and strengthens long-term business value.
“Zeigo Hub is a bold step forward in the sustainable development of supply chains,” said Iv. “It’s about turning ambition into real action — empowering every supplier, every partner, and every organization to contribute to a zero-emission future.”
Zeigo Hub is now available to organizations worldwide. To learn more about how the platform can support your supply chain decarbonization transformation, visit https://www.zeigo.com/zeigo-hub.
