Online discussion “5 Myths about the Ukrainian Agriculture”
That fear of possible negative impact that the integration of the Ukrainian agricultural sector will have on European market and the European agriculture is often based on misconceptions about the Ukrainian agriculture, its structure, the way it operates, exports its products and earns its income.
Ukrainian Agribusiness Club together with UCABevent agency organized the 2nd online “fireside chat” discussion “5 Myths about the Ukrainian Agriculture” on the 21 March 2023.
Context:
Actions by the European farmers against Ukrainian agrifood imports, are fueled by fear and misconceptions about possible negative impact that the integration of the Ukrainian agricultural sector will have on European market and the European agriculture. That fear is often based on misconceptions about the Ukrainian agriculture, its structure, the way it operates, exports its products and earns its income.
Are these misconceptions true? At this second UCAB online fireside chat the organizers tried to debunk five most common myths attributed to the Ukrainian agriculture by politicians, protesters and in the media in Europe:
- The Ukrainian agricultural sector is dominated by large-scale agricultural companies, owned by foreigners.
- Much of Ukrainian arable land is private property of a few oligarchs.
- Ukrainian agricultural imports destabilize European markets.
- Ukrainian agricultural products are imported into the EU despite their non-compliance with EU food safety regulations.
- Ukrainian agricultural imports drive EU farmers out of business.
