The traces of ancient caravans are still visible near Uplistsikhe cave town.

Mountainous landscapes, fresh air, sweet water and lots of history on every corner: Armenia (in Armenian “Hayastan”) is the name of the country that combines all of this.

Agriculture has been historically one of the main sectors of the Ukrainian economy. Considered for centuries as a “bread basket of Europe” Ukraine today possesses arable land area which equals to 30% of arable land of the European Union and 2.1% of the global arable land bank. But it has always been about quality, not quantity: Ukraine accounts for about 25% of the world most fertile black soil which
makes country unique in terms of agri potential.

Crop farming is a basis of agriculture in Ukraine, most notably – production of grains and vegetable oil. In 2017, crops farming accounted for 72% of agricultural output (in USD terms), animal farming accounted for the remaining 28%.
Besides crops, Ukraine specializes in production of sugar, poultry and eggs. Production of these items, which exceeds home demand, is focused on export.

There is a very limited wine production in Poland. In 2014, wine production in Poland amounted to 13.4 million litres only, making Polish wine a niche. Presently the number of legally registered wineries is 78, compared to 49 in 2013, cultivating about 700 hectares of vineyards.

The Polish organic food market presents opportunity for further intensive development. In recent years, the market for such products has increased by several percent each year. The increase in organically farmed area was spectacular between 2004 and 2014, beginning with 84,000 Ha and reaching 658,000 Ha. Steady increase in the purchasing power of Polish consumers and development of higher incomes among well-educated social groups create good prospects for U.S. organic food exporters. Poland is a country with an excellent geographical location to access the EU.
