KYIV, June 7 – The agricultural sector, without exaggeration, is one of the key pillars on which the Ukrainian economy rests, generating 62% of foreign currency earnings from exports alone in 2023, stated Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, Olha Stefanishyna.

"The Ukrainian agricultural sector has withstood difficult conditions and continues its activities, supporting the economy, ensuring food security not only in Ukraine but also worldwide, including African countries, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia," she said at the presentation of the Strategy for the Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas until 2030 in Kyiv on Friday.
