AgroInnovate Exchange: Spain to Ukraine
Overview:
The agricultural delegation to Spain’s Huelva and Murcia regions represents a strategic opportunity for Ukrainian agricultural enterprises and municipalities to establish direct connections with Europe’s horticultural innovation centers. This professional exchange focuses on advanced technologies in berry cultivation, vegetable production, irrigation systems, and export logistics that can be implemented in Ukraine’s developing agricultural sector.
This comprehensive seven-day program provides participants with exclusive access to Spain’s premier agricultural operations, technical expertise, and business networking opportunities with potential technology and seedling suppliers.
Strategic Regions Selected
Our mission targets two complementary regions that demonstrate excellence in specialized agricultural production:
Huelva Region: Recognized as Europe’s leader in berry production, Huelva has developed sophisticated systems for strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry cultivation. Their production models generate premium exports during periods when most European producers are dormant.
Murcia Region: Distinguished for advanced vegetable production and water conservation technologies, Murcia has transformed agricultural challenges into competitive advantages. Their greenhouse operations and water management systems represent global benchmarks for resource efficiency.
These regions offer practical solutions to critical challenges facing Ukrainian agriculture: extending growing seasons, improving product quality, optimizing irrigation, and developing export-oriented production.
