About Ukraine<\/h2>\n \n
\n

Ukraine has long been known as the breadbasket of Europe, with a total land area of 60 million hectares, of which roughly 42 million are classified as agricultural land.<\/p>\n

Winter wheat, spring barley and corn make up most of the country’s grain crops, with sunflower and sugar beet as the main crops on an industrial scale.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the country has experienced significant growth in agricultural production and exports, which made it one of the world\u2019s leading agricultural powerhouses.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Our Operations<\/h2>\n \n
\n

LDC Ukraine is firmly established as one of the country\u2019s three largest grains and oilseeds exporters, specializing in wheat, barley and maize.<\/p>\n

And in 2019 LDC\u2019s Sugar Platform succeeded in becoming one of Ukraine\u2019s main actors in the export of beet sugar to international markets.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian grain production and exports are expected to grow substantially in the next few years, driven by higher yields, the proliferation of corn crops and increasingly efficient farming operations.<\/p>\n

LDC\u2019s ongoing expansion in the country aims to address the resulting need for efficient export capabilities, through an established network that is able to handle large volumes of grain and oilseeds quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Ongoing Strategy in Ukraine<\/h2>\n

LDC runs a dynamic network of operations in Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), as this region encompasses strategic origination points and key destination markets for many of the major commodities we handle.<\/p>\n

Ukraine is a key country for LDC. Having established a strong origination and processing network, including one of LDC\u2019s largest grain storage networks in the region, we continue to expand our presence and activities in the country.<\/p>\n

LDC is committed to long-term investment in Ukraine, with a focus on reinforcing our inland origination capacity.<\/p>\n
