The Market

• With 32.5 million hectares, Ukraine provides the second largest
  arable area in Europe. The high percentage of black soil has an enormous potential leading to ever growing crop yields for grain and oil seeds, which are being exported
  to a large amount.
• Ukraine is the the worlds No. 1 exporter of oil seeds, ranks third for corn exports and sixth for grain exports.
• Locational advantage for the agricultural production due to low wages and leases as well as the close proximity to the sales markets in Eastern Europe, Near East and Central Asia.
• However, due to outdated equipment of many farms, Ukraine cannot live up to its potential. Small and medium sized farms are in need of some 25,000 modern harvesting machines (most machinery is 10 years or older). Also, insufficiencies in refrigeration, storage, port logistics and transport infrastructure hamper bigger export rates.
• High demand for international machinery: As their own machinery production is not competitive, Ukrainian manufacturers depend on efficient machines and technology solutions offered by international suppliers. 75% of the market are covered by imports, for self-propelled machinery it is even 100%.
