The most influential event of the Ukrainian agricultural market — the international conference GRAIN UKRAINE 2026 — will take place on June 4–5 in Kyiv. This year’s central theme is “The New Grain Order”.
Leading figures from the grain market, logistics business, food sector, and financial industry will gather in Kyiv to discuss the sector’s development prospects, analyze the impact of security risks and climate change on the industry’s economy, and develop solutions that will help Ukrainian agricultural companies better adapt to new conditions. Key topics this year include:
- The global grain and oilseed markets under geopolitical pressure: how is the shifting world order reshaping roles, trade flows, and margins
- Ukraine’s future: an exporter of commodities or of solutions? Can the country transition to exporting agri-tech, services, and expertise?
- Quotas, regulations, and compromises: on what terms will Ukraine trade with the EU after the emergency regime ends?
- The buyer sets the rules: how can Ukrainian agribusiness protect margins amid rising costs?
- Oilseed crushing in Ukraine: can the country become a European processing hub, and what will it take?
- How can the grain market reduce dependence on a handful of major buyers and build resilient geographic diversification?
- Energy from the field: a new profit driver or a costly experiment? Which business models and energy solutions are already proving viable in Ukraine?
- Sea or land? How can export logistics be designed to avoid reliance on a single route and withstand кризис scenarios?
- Deferred demand for financing, investment, and M&A is beginning to materialize. Is this the right time, and are the conditions favorable?
- Financing the agricultural sector: new opportunities or still a survival phase? Who actually has access to capital today — and on what terms?
