Ukrainian path to the EU. Polish experience. Agricultural sector

The report was prepared as part of the project “Ukraine’s Path to the European Union. The Polish Experience”, implemented jointly by the Warsaw Enterprise Institute (Poland) and the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (Ukraine).

Key components of the project include expert seminars and sectoral reports focusing on sensitive areas of the economy that may, on the one hand, be sources of competition and potential disputes between Polish and Ukrainian businesses and, on the other, offer opportunities for cooperation and complementarity between the two economies.

This report examines the agricultural sectors of Poland and Ukraine. It analyses their key differences, their role in the economy, trade relations with the EU, and the impact of the war on Ukraine’s agricultural sector. It also explores opportunities for Polish-Ukrainian cooperation, including the development of transport and border infrastructure, joint agri-processing projects, and the adoption of sustainable technologies. The report further looks at Poland’s experience of EU integration and how it can support Ukraine in aligning its agricultural legislation and practices with European standards.

The report is available below in both English and Polish.
