Dem-Inter Russia / Ukraine

Why Russia / Ukraine?

Recovering economic growth with social imperatives

Fertile soils and suitable rainfall in specific areas

Sufficient trainable, skilled labour

Local demand for management skills, training & food production

Opportunity to create sustainable agri-businesses with quality local

partners

Why now?

Increasing global demand for agricultural commodities

Unlikely fall in commodity prices for the long term

Russia and Ukraine seeks large scale, sustainable, low cost food

production to reduce escalating costs of imports and earn foreign

exchange from exports

Availability and willingness of governments to provide suitable

land resources with favourable conditions
