This study provides a review of the food
and agricultural sector in Ukraine. It assesses the current
status of the food and agricultural sector with special
reference to the agricultural policy regime and the form and
level of government support to the sector. The paper reviews
the sector's readiness to compete on open global
markets for food and agricultural products. Given the
importance and sensitivity of the food and agriculture
sector in the country, the report highlights a number of
critical issues for the Ukrainian government to address. The
report goes beyond the narrower focus of the agricultural
policies and reviews the status of current rural physical
and social infrastructure and issues of rural poverty. The
Executive Summary highlights policy recommendations for
Ukrainian policymakers, while the individual chapters
provide technical analysis on key policy issues.
