The "Ukrainian Agribusiness Club" Association, together with the UCABevent agency, will hold the 11th International Conference "Doing Agribusiness in Ukraine," bringing together government and business representatives. Together, we will summarize the results and discuss the changes that took place in the agricultural sector in 2019. Currently, agribusiness in Ukraine is undergoing a period of upheavals and contradictions that affect both small farms and large agricultural holdings. That is why an open dialogue between the government and business is more relevant than ever. Conference participants will be able to get answers to the most pressing questions and understand which development vector to choose in 2020.

● Open dialogue with government representatives
● Summary of the year's results and determination of promising directions for 2020
● 300+ agricultural experts and government representatives

Key discussion topics:
CURRENT YEAR AGRI-RESULTS IN 201941.3% of exports to EU countries consisted of agricultural and food industry products. The agricultural sector is opening up leadership prospects for Ukraine on the global market. What development vector should be chosen in 2020 to boost exports? Under this theme, we will discuss:● The role of the agricultural sector in the economy of Ukraine and the world
● Successes and failures of agribusiness. Overview of key indicators
● Sector trends. Choosing promising areas
THE IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL FACTORS ON UKRAINE'S MACROECONOMYThe renewal of the state's management apparatus has noticeably shaken agricultural producers' confidence in the future. Any changes in the geopolitical situation create risks for both the country's economy and its economic security. Let us understand whether we should counteract or adapt to geopolitical threats by discussing the following:
● Geopolitical impact on the country: how and why?
● The strategic triangle
● Consequences for the global macroeconomic situation
MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In 2019, the agricultural sector became the leader in concluding the highest-value contracts. Banks are eager to cooperate with small and medium-sized agribusinesses due to the positive reputation of such borrowers compared to other sectors. On the other hand, the complexity of the agricultural lending procedure is associated with unregistered land, cash sales of crops, as well as formal reporting and the inability to provide property collateral. Perhaps it is appropriate to consider alternative methods of lending to agricultural business? During the panel discussion, industry experts will talk about:
● Attracting financing on favorable terms
● Leasing for agricultural producers: global practice and Ukrainian realities
● Alternative lending models
LIFTING THE MORATORIUM ON THE SALE OF AGRICULTURAL LAND
Ukraine is the only country in Europe without a land market. Lifting the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land would seem to be a logical step in the development of Ukraine's agricultural sector. But what awaits market participants? What is the "price of the question," and who will ultimately be able to buy Ukrainian land and who will not? During the conference, we will debate:
● The lifting of the moratorium and development scenarios
● Risks and opportunities for agricultural producers. How to survive in new circumstances?
● Ways to secure business in turbulent conditions?
