AgriAcademy to present analytical review of livestock market at Ukrainian Livestock Summit 2025

On October 17, 2025, ProAgro Group will hold the fourth Ukrainian Livestock Summit (Ukrainian Livestock Summit 2025) in Kyiv, a leading industry platform for discussing current trends and prospects for the development of livestock farming, poultry farming, livestock product processing, and feed production, writes SEEDS.

Among the speakers at the summit will be Oksana Yurchenko, coordinator of animal health and food safety projects at the FAO Investment Center and representative of the educational platform AgriAcademy, who will present an analytical report on “Livestock farming in Ukraine: trends, challenges, and prospects.”

Oksana Yurchenko will present an overview of key trends in the livestock industry, including issues of staff shortages, the transformation of agricultural professions, the sector’s adaptation to the requirements of European integration, and the role of modern informal education in training a new generation of agribusiness specialists.

“Today, the livestock industry is facing a number of serious challenges, one of the key ones being an acute shortage of qualified personnel. Companies are actively looking for specialists, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to find them, while a new generation of farmers with a completely different vision and approach to work is entering the market. That is why it is extremely important to integrate distance learning into the daily activities of farms, making it an integral part of the production process. AgriAcademy is an effective tool that will motivate employees and help improve their professional level,” emphasizes Oksana Yurchenko.

During the summit, a promotional video about AgriAcademy will also be shown, highlighting the opportunities offered by certified free online education for farmers. The platform currently offers more than 30 practical courses, created in collaboration with leading universities around the world, companies in the agricultural sector, and industry experts in Ukraine.

Oksana Yurchenko’s presentation is intended not only to assess the state of the livestock sector, but also to show how modern educational initiatives contribute to strengthening the human resources potential of Ukrainian agribusiness in the context of post-war recovery and European integration.

This is a free online learning platform created on the initiative of the EBRD as part of its food security support program in Ukraine. Its goal is to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainable development of agriculture, which has suffered significant losses due to the war.

The platform’s creation and management (including course development, training tours, etc.) is supported and funded by the EBRD, as well as:

  • The EBRD’s Multilateral Donor Account for Stabilisation and Sustainable Growth in Ukraine (donors: Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union as the largest donor);
  • The Republic of Ireland through the EBRD Small Business Promotion Fund (other donors to the fund: Italy, Japan, South Korea, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Taipei China, and the United States);
  • The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
