Agribusiness
Ukraine is an agricultural superpower, and its south is the heart of the sector. We support agricultural companies from the land bank to the export contract.
Agriculture is the foundation of Ukraine’s economy and of its export earnings, and the southern regions, with their black soil and proximity to the ports, form its core. The opening of the land market changed the rules: the purchase of farmland, the verification of title to plots and the structuring of a land bank have come to the fore, while the war has added to the familiar risks the mining of fields, damage to infrastructure and the logistical constraints on export through the Black Sea.
We support agricultural companies along the whole of their path — from the building and management of a land bank, lease and emphyteusis, to forward contracts and the export shipment of grain and oilseeds. Land disputes, farm-production agreements, customs clearance and tax structuring we conduct with an understanding of the seasonality and the particulars of a sector in which the window for a decision often opens for only a few weeks.
