The agricultural sector played a significant role in Ukraine’s economy prior to the full-scale war and will continue to be crucial during the reconstruction process. While production is expected to return to pre-war levels, post-war reconstruction must align with Ukraine’s ambitions for EU accession, necessitating the adoption of relevant EU requirements and regulations. 

In this issue paper, we argue that the recovery of the agricultural sector should not solely focus on production growth goals but also prioritise the long-term sustainability of Ukraine as it progresses towards EU membership.
