KIEV, May 20 – Ukrainian companies in the agricultural sector are expecting a rise in investment, according to Anna Dudchenko, an analyst with Concorde Capital Investment Company.

"Investors are interested in [putting] funds into the sector, first, due to the fact that the prices of foodstuffs are at historical maximums and in the future they would remain at this level. In addition, demand for agricultural products considerably exceeds supply now, and it's likely that the trend would continue," she said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine during the First Ukrainian Agricultural Forum in Kiev.
