For more than 2 years of war, Ukraine’s agricultural sector has suffered losses of $80.1 billion (according to the World Bank), with direct losses reaching more than $10 billion. Therefore, the entire agribusiness and grain processing industry continue to work, recover and develop to restore our industries and strengthen the country as a whole.
Accordingly, the main issues today are: how to make the country’s agricultural sector profitable in the face of war; how to boost grain processing; how to build energy-efficient and energy-independent production; and opening and entering new markets. We will try to find answers to these and many other pressing questions during the discussion panels and individual presentations at the conference “Grain and Processing: Development Despite the War ”, which will be held on September 18-20, 2024 in Kyiv and will be dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Union “Millers of Ukraine”.

On June 11 and 12, the German government, in partnership with the government of Ukraine, will host the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC2024) with the aim of supporting Ukraine’s economic and social recovery from Russia’s war of aggression.
On the day before URC2024 begins, GMF will convene 200 representatives from Ukraine’s municipalities, cities, and regions, as well as civil society actors, philanthropists, and business and media representatives from Ukraine and its partner countries to explore the local dimension of reconstruction, recovery and reform. Under the theme All Reconstruction is Local, the pre-conference aims to investigate the following questions: What are the benefits and limitations of city and state twinning as well as regional cooperation models? How can improved cooperation be fostered between national and local reconstruction plans rather than competition? What are the human capital and project management needs at the local level? How will access to finance and insurance be distributed at the local level? How can EU regulations, sustainability and the highest transparency standards be ensured locally?
The agenda will feature discussions looking at concrete partnership models aiming to support Ukrainian cities and regions but will also dive deeper into specific policy areas including rebuilding the local energy sector, anti-corruption efforts and the question of local ownership vs. wartime centralization. Speakers at the event will include both policy makers from the United States, Europe, and Ukraine, as well as civil society and private sector representatives. Some of the sessions of the event will be live-streamed and therefore also available to an online audience, while other sessions will take place under Chatham House rules to enable an open and honest discussion among participants.

Grain – Pigs – Meat is a value chain that can increase the added value of up to 6 billion euros per year and even more, as opposed to grain exports, which leave almost no added value in Ukraine.
The Forum of the same name “Grain. Pigs. Meat – 2024” will be held in Kyiv on June 12.
Mykola Babenko, chairman of the Forum’s organizing committee and head of the Meat Industry Association and the Center for Efficiency Improvement in Livestock, said: “There are many mechanisms for filling the budget with taxes. Stimulating the production of industries with high added value is the best one, we are convinced of that. For example, grain exports bring almost nothing to the budget, while grain processing into bioethanol, feeding pigs with bioethanol production waste, and pork exports account for hundreds of percent of added value in Ukraine, billions of euros on the same grain that is exported. Six billion euros of added value can be gained annually by Ukraine’s economy just by quadrupling the number of pigs in Ukraine to the level of 1991.”
Stimulating the development of high value-added industries, such as pig and meat production, could provide an alternative domestic market for Ukrainian grain. Currently, the pig industry consumes only 2 million tons of grain, but it is capable of consuming 10 million tons annually.
