Ukraine discusses the creation of agricultural hubs in the UAE to support global food security

During the Food from Ukraine 2025 conference, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, Taras Vysotsky, met with the UAE’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sultan Al Shamsi, to discuss the creation of agricultural hubs in the UAE.
This was reported by Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy.

“This will optimise logistics and increase the efficiency of food delivery to those who need it most,” the Ministry said in a statement.

The agricultural hubs will receive Ukrainian products for packaging and distribution to countries in need, including Gaza, Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, and other regions.

“Ukraine has long played a key role in global food security and is a reliable partner for the countries of the Global South. Despite the war and Russia’s attempts to hinder our exports, since 2022 we have supplied more than 40% of Ukrainian grain exports to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We do not just deliver food, but also offer technologies, experience, and production models that ensure long-term food stability,” emphasised Taras Vysotsky.

Earlier, the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture of the Republic of Ghana signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a centre for processing and distributing Ukrainian products in West Africa.

The Food from Ukraine 2025 conference brought together more than 100 official and business delegations, including representatives from African countries, international organisations, and Ukrainian manufacturers of agricultural machinery and food products.
