The Cluster of Covered Horticulture of the Agriculture & Food Security platform Ukraine supported by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency has compiled a comprehensive market report to help the Dutch entrepreneurs in protected cultivation to get started in this sector.
The protected cultivation sector in Ukraine faces various challenges. The war is causing unpredictable energy supply, limited investments, and other disruptions. Shortages of workers, training, and financing are also a problem.
At the same time, this sector is essential for the supply of fresh food, income for rural areas, and the restoration of value chains. Consequently, most Ukrainian greenhouses plan to continue developing and investing.
The market report shows that Ukrainian companies require a comprehensive approach when it comes to support.
There is a particular need for:
- energy efficiency and resilience (especially in high-tech greenhouses);
- reliable water supply and fertigation (soil fertilization via irrigation);
- improvement of the cold chain;
- improvement of post-harvest processing;
- worker training;
- people-oriented mechanization, for example in the packaging process;
- automation that improves ergonomics, safety, and user-friendliness for workers.
Entering the Ukrainian Market consider
- where the greatest opportunities lie for Dutch companies;
- what Ukrainian companies are in demand for;
- which key Ukrainian players exist;
