However, the agricultural sector faces several challenges, which, if not addressed, could hinder this. In addition to the full-scale invasion and its consequences for agriculture, we are talking about the Free Trade Agreement with the EU, which will expire on June 5 this year. At this point, the scenario for the industry may depend on its extension. At the same time, Ukraine sees several possible solutions to this problem, and work is already underway in some areas, including in the EU.
