Event Speakers and Agenda

The event will feature key speakers including Denys Bashlyk, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, and Giuseppe Aristei, a Programme Coordinator from the EU Delegation to Ukraine. The scheduled agenda includes:

• An overview of the AKIS Portal's capabilities and its importance for the agro-sector;
• Practical case studies on platform usage;
• A live demonstration of the portal's functions;

The AKIS Portal launch is a pivotal moment for Ukrainian agriculture, as the platform is designed to support smallholder farmers and foster the growth of agricultural initiatives. This development aligns with broader European trends of bolstering small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises, which can strengthen the country's economy and food security.

The creation of the AKIS Portal could mark a major step in modernizing Ukraine's agricultural sector by providing small farmers with access to contemporary technologies and informational resources.

As the AKIS Portal prepares for its launch, it's essential to consider the broader context of Ukraine's agricultural advancements.
