Ukraine plans to reboot its agricultural market to attract $650M in agribusiness investment.

Ruslan Magomedov, Chairman of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC), and Vitaly Koval, Minister of Agrarian Policy, discussed the launch of an organized agricultural market and revitalizing the sector as a whole.

“Despite the war, our farmers are showing remarkable resilience. The state’s role is to establish transparent trading rules, attract investment, and implement effective financial mechanisms,” Magomedov stated.

He noted that the NSSMC, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, has already begun reforming the agricultural market. A key focus will be the introduction of financial instruments, particularly agricultural notes.

“The commission has had success in launching stock trading for timber, and we aim to replicate this success in the agricultural market,” he remarked.

Magomedov emphasized that an organized agricultural market will create a transparent price benchmark and a system of contract guarantees. It is anticipated that after the initiative’s launch, ₴350B ($8.3B) will enter the legal economy, and investment in the sector will reach ₴27B ($650M).
