The forum “Grain and Processing 2025: Flour, Groceries, Mixed Feed” was held in Lviv over several days, combining practice, analytics, and lively discussions about the future of Ukrainian grain processing, writes SEEDS.
More than 100 representatives of grain processing, baking, and compound feed enterprises, analysts, representatives of technology companies, and industry experts—those who shape the industry’s agenda—came to Lviv for this key industry event.
The forum was organized by the Ukrainian Flour Millers Association and Agro Marketing Agency.
During the forum, Taras Vysotsky, Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine, presented the key indicators and trends for the new agricultural season. According to preliminary estimates, the wheat harvest in 2025 will be 23 million tons, while domestic consumption will remain at around 6 million tons. The sowing campaign is ongoing, and the area under winter wheat is expected to increase by 7–10%, which creates the conditions for stable production in 2026.
At the same time, Vysotsky noted the difficult situation on the rye market: cultivation volumes are minimal, and the ministry, together with relevant associations, is preparing mechanisms to stimulate the expansion of sowing areas starting next season.
As part of the forum, Rodion Rybchinsky, Director of the Public Union “Flour Millers of Ukraine,” presented an online course for agribusiness, “Post-harvest processing and storage of grain,” from AgriAcademy, a free online platform for agricultural education and certified online courses from leading Ukrainian and international experts.
The new AgriAcademy course is dedicated to the basics of organizing and conducting grain reception, post-harvest processing, and storage. It is designed for those interested in improving their qualifications and mastering modern and innovative techniques and technologies for improving grain readiness for storage, control, and quality improvement.
