A large volume of grain exports indicates the high quality of Ukrainian farmers’ products and their competitiveness in the world market. However, despite successful exports, there are still many problems and challenges in the agricultural sector in Ukraine, such as insufficient funding, difficulties with the supply of fertilizers, and so on. It is important that government and business structures continue to work together to improve conditions for the development of the agricultural sector in Ukraine.
