The U.S. Department of Commerce and the Government of Ukraine will sponsor and organize a Food Industry Trade and Investment Mission to Ukraine, June 1-12, 1996. The mission will be of interest to companies involved in the food processing and packaging sector, food distribution, agricultural machinery and equipment, and agricultural chemicals.
Your participation in this mission will afford you the opportunity to meet with the leading agribusiness officials in the public and private sectors in five regions of Ukraine and learn about their plans to modernize the agribusiness sector and privatize state and collective farms. Ukraine has been long recognized as having the richest land in the world - chernozem or #black earth.# Two thirds of Ukraine is covered by this nutrient-rich soil which accounts for one-third of the world#s supply. By entering this market, you will have the advantage of building a strong market base to sustain future growth as Ukraine positions itself to become a leading exporter of processed foods and agricultural products to the countries of the former Soviet Union and Western Europe.
Our embassy staff will host the mission and will schedule appointments for mission members with industry and governmental leaders in the above sectors as well as both potential end-users and investment partners. Site visits will also be arranged, based on each member#s needs and interests. If you are interested in joining the mission, please complete the form below and mail or fax it to:
