Grain Ukraine 2026: The New Grain Order
On June 4–5, 2026, Kyiv hosted Grain Ukraine, one of the key events for the Ukrainian agricultural market. Held at the Parkovy Convention and Exhibition Center, the conference brought together more than 500 participants and over 50 speakers, including executives of agricultural companies, traders, financiers, logistics operators, investors, international experts and government representatives.
The central theme of Grain Ukraine 2026 was “The New Grain Order.” It reflected the transformation of global agricultural trade under the influence of war, geopolitical tensions, climate change, the energy transition and new market-access rules. Participants discussed not only the current season but also the prospects for Ukraine’s agricultural sector over the next 20–25 years.
The key conference topics included:
changes in the global grain and oilseed markets;
the future of Ukrainian agriculture in the global economy;
Ukraine’s integration into the EU, quotas and new trade rules;
rising production costs and ways to preserve business margins;
the development of domestic grain and oilseed processing;
diversification of export markets and the search for new buyers;
maritime and overland logistics amid geopolitical risks;
agribusiness financing, investment and M&A transactions;
bioenergy, bioethanol and energy production from agricultural raw materials;
the impact of climate change on agricultural production;
agricultural technologies, services and new sources of competitiveness.
Special attention was paid to the end of the traditional low-cost agricultural model. Rising production, logistics and financing costs are forcing companies to improve efficiency, invest in processing and move from exporting raw materials towards products, technologies and services with higher added value.
The Agroholding MENORAH team also took part in Grain Ukraine 2026. The conference provided an opportunity to exchange experience with industry leaders, discuss the latest developments in the grain market, strengthen business partnerships and identify new areas for growth. Platforms such as Grain Ukraine help Ukrainian agribusinesses find common responses to current challenges and reinforce Ukraine’s position in the global agricultural market.
