Agricultural production in 2015 amounted to 317 billion UAH or 16% of GDP. In 2015, agricultural exports amounted to $14,6 billion.

3. Association “Ukrainian Agribusiness Club” (UCAB) is a business association which represents the interests of leading companies of the
Ukrainian agro-food sector. In 2016, the authority and importance of UCAB for domestic agribusiness were proved by several input
companies joining UCAB. The aim of our work is to promote efficient agribusiness in Ukraine and serve its various needs, from recruit-
ment and search of investment opportunities to practical tasks such as the increase of production efficiency, and the development of
proposals on improvement of agricultural policy in Ukraine. Membership in the Association “Ukrainian Agribusiness Club” provides
companies with obvious benefits: from the information and knowledge to support in solving many practical issues. In 2015, UCAB keeps
holding the status of Association No.1 in the agricultural sector of Ukraine, consolidating more than 80 important representatives of the
industry. In addition to activities such as recruiting, event management, market research, PR, we have significantly strengthened infor-
mation sharing with UCAB members about legislative processes as well as efforts on professional development of personnel in agricul-
tural companies. With the aim to systematize activities in separate areas of the agro-food sector UCAB organized a number of commit-
tees. Each committee is a group of UCAB specialists as well as members of the Association, who are responsible for coordination of
activities on monitoring, analysis, information and lobbying in several specific spheres of agribusiness.
