The Government Presented the Export Strategy of Ukraine until 2030
Representatives of ICC Ukraine joined the presentation of the Export Strategy of Ukraine until 2030, which took place during the Second International Trade Forum. The document defines the priorities for the development of Ukrainian exports for the coming years and envisions increasing the export of goods and services to 85 billion USD, raising its share in GDP to 33%, developing the export of high value-added products, and gradually moving away from a raw material-based economic model.
The event was attended by Taras Kachka, Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine; Oleksii Sobolev, Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine; as well as representatives of the European Union, the Embassy of Germany in Ukraine, the business community, and international organizations.
During the presentation, the Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine, Oleksii Sobolev, emphasized: “$85 billion in exports by 2030 is an ambitious goal of the new Export Strategy of Ukraine. This strategic document is a roadmap for the development of Ukraine’s trade with the world for the coming years. We have the reserve for such growth—it lies in increasing the export of high value-added products. This will allow for increasing economic revenues, developing processing, creating new jobs, as well as overcoming export restrictions.”
As noted during the presentation by Deputy Minister Taras Vysotskyi, the Strategy, developed with the support of international partners, defines a joint action plan for the state, business, and donors to integrate Ukrainian producers into global value chains and deepen economic integration with the European Union.
The Strategy envisions increasing the share of services export to 25% and reducing the share of raw materials and low-processed goods to 59%. The implementation of the document will take place in two stages. In the first stage (2026-2028), the emphasis will be placed on digitalization, regulatory changes, and attracting investments. The interim goal for 2028 is set at an export volume of $80 billion, an export share in GDP of at least 31.2%, and a further reduction of the raw material component. The second stage (2029-2030) involves deepening integration into the EU single market, attracting transnational companies, and opening trade representative offices abroad.
The Strategy focuses as much as possible on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as one of the key drivers of economic growth. For small producers, the document provides for the launch of grant programs for pre-export preparation within the country and clear coordination of international donor assistance through the “Export Alliance” single window. To support Ukrainian manufacturers abroad, an online platform called “Trade Protection of Ukraine” is being launched. To eliminate fragmented management, dedicated export authorized officers will appear in each regional state administration, and individual regional development plans for foreign economic activity will be developed in the regions.
“Small and medium-sized businesses often have a great idea and a high-quality product, but do not yet have the scale to independently cover the costs of analytics or exhibition activities. Our priority is to provide small producers with ready ‘turnkey’ tools through the exporter’s electronic account and systematically support them at international venues. In particular, up to 10 million UAH is provided to compensate the cost of collective national stands for industry associations at international exhibitions. We are creating a single window where businesses receive reliable support from the ‘Made in Ukraine’ brand and direct access to promising EU markets,” Taras Vysotskyi emphasized.
A separate focus in the Strategy is placed on the development of export logistics. In particular, there are plans to launch regular transportation services based on PrJSC “Ukrainian Danube Shipping Company,” which will allow for the consolidation of cargo in Danube ports and its delivery to major ports for subsequent maritime export. It also provides for the reform of the railway tariff system in accordance with the EU market model.
Monitoring of the Strategy’s implementation will be carried out on an ongoing basis: the responsible bodies will report every six months, and the government will review the first annual report by February 1, 2027.
For ICC Ukraine, participation in the event was an opportunity to join the professional discussion on the further development of Ukraine’s export potential, tools to support Ukrainian exporters, and strengthening the integration of domestic business into the global economy.

Agro Ukraine Week 2026: Three Days That United Agrarian Ukraine
From June 17 to 19, 2026, the International Agrarian Week “Agro Ukraine Week 2026” took place in Kyiv. It was the first event in Ukraine of such scale and format, unique in its concept and prospects. A business platform that united several industries and sectors, modeled after leading international exhibition and forum formats, it is set to become one of the key industry platforms in Europe within a few years in post-war Ukraine.
ICC Ukraine acted as an information partner for Agro Ukraine Week 2026.
Agro Ukraine Week represents the integration of specialized conferences, exhibitions, dialogue platforms, and cultural and educational events aimed not only at developing the national agro-industrial complex but also at raising the prestige of Ukraine as a modern agrarian state—a country associated with innovations, technologies, and the creation of high value-added products.
The first step is always a risk. However, the debut Agro Ukraine Week confirmed the demand for such a format and laid the foundation for the further development and improvement of the project. We thank everyone who, despite the difficult security situation and logistical risks, joined in holding the event.
Informal communication became a leading component of Agro Ukraine Week. Behind the scenes of the summit conferences, on the terraces, and in cozy relaxation zones, participants exchanged views, discussed pressing issues of industry development, and found new common ground for cooperation.
The exhibition area, featuring more than a hundred stands presented by leading suppliers of goods, services, and technologies for agricultural producers, became an important platform of the event. Without exaggeration, the groundwork for many future partnerships, joint projects, and business initiatives was laid here.
War is our reality. There is not a single industry, not a single enterprise that has not been affected by the hostilities, constant shelling, and their consequences. And so many farmers are defending our Motherland on the front lines! This theme resonated across all platforms: honoring the memory of Heroes, a performance by the Veterans’ Theater, and a screening of the film “Quiet Land” from the program of the “Molodist” film festival.
The main goal of the cultural and artistic program of the International Agrarian Week was to showcase genuine Ukrainian culture—without cheap stereotypes or vulgarity. Patriotic songs, fiery folk dances, Ukrainian folklore performed by the country’s leading artistic ensembles, an exhibition of works by our ingenious artist Ivan Marchuk, and presentations of exquisite brands enhanced the special atmosphere of Agro Ukraine Week, where professionalism unites with Ukrainian culture and art.
Fourteen forums, conferences, and summits served as the working platforms for Agro Ukraine Week, each dedicated to a separate area of agricultural industry development.
Agro Ukraine Summit
The central event of the first day was the Agro Ukraine Summit. Participants discussed the current state of the agricultural sector under war conditions, food security issues, state support for producers, and the prospects for exporting Ukrainian products. Special attention was paid to the adaptation of the agri-food sector to EU standards and the further integration of Ukraine into the European market.
AgTech Forum
The AgTech Forum became the main platform for demonstrating digital technologies and innovations in the agricultural sector. The Aggeek team managed to gather highly charismatic specialists; the presentation of each of them and their participation in the “battle” with AI greatly interested the audience. Forum participants discussed the development of precision farming, the use of drones, digital platforms, artificial intelligence, and robotic production management systems. The forum confirmed that the digitalization of agribusiness in Ukraine continues to gain momentum even under war conditions.
Agro Ukraine Farming
On Farmers’ Day, the Forum “The Farmer’s Word in a Time of Great Change” was held with great success. Organized by the All-Ukrainian Congress of Farmers with the support of the international humanitarian organization Mercy Corps, the forum was dedicated to Ukrainian farmers. The event became a platform for an open dialogue between the farming community and state authorities regarding financing, government support, European integration, and the development of rural areas.
Agro Invest Forum
The investment forum operated throughout all three days of Agro Ukraine Week. Its participants analyzed opportunities for attracting investments, the entry of Ukrainian companies into international markets, and increasing the competitiveness of agricultural business. A significant part of the discussions was dedicated to the development of partnerships, reforming the regulatory environment, and searching for new financial instruments for the agricultural sector. Naturally, the topic of investments was also highlighted at other conferences and forums.
Agro Marketing Stage
This event became not just a platform for discussing modern marketing strategies, branding, and communications in the agricultural sector, but also a hub of creativity and artistry. Speakers shared practical cases, talked about the use of artificial intelligence, building strong brands, and forming effective marketing teams. The communication hackathon by Dentsu Ukraine, during which participants created marketing solutions in real time, aroused particular interest among the audience.
Grain Storage Forum
The Grain Storage Forum gathered representatives of the elevator industry, logistics companies, and grain traders. The focus was on ensuring sufficient capacity for crop storage, developing logistical infrastructure, and the energy resilience of enterprises. Challenges of wartime were discussed separately, including infrastructure destruction, staff shortages, and the need to modernize elevator complexes.
Innovative Technologies in Livestock Farming
The conference was dedicated to modern technologies in livestock farming and increasing production efficiency. On the agenda were issues of dairy cattle productivity, profitability of milk production, animal comfort, and the adaptation of farms to climate challenges.
Grain Processing Forum
The forum on the processing of grain and oilseed crops was dedicated to creating value-added products and developing domestic processing. Experts analyzed the prospects for the production of cereals, flour, pasta, starches, and other products. Participants emphasized the need to strengthen Ukraine’s position not only as an exporter of raw materials but also as a manufacturer of finished goods.
Processing in Livestock Farming
The conference brought together representatives of the dairy processing industry. The key topics were the long-term development strategy of the dairy industry, increasing the competitiveness of Ukrainian products, and adaptation to European requirements. Additionally, issues of popularizing milk consumption and implementing school nutrition programs were actively discussed.
Vet Agro Forum
The Vet Agro Forum served as a professional platform for veterinarians, scientists, and representatives of livestock enterprises. The main focus was on disease prevention, animal welfare, the use of modern veterinary drugs, and the harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with EU requirements. Participants stressed the need to transition to systemic prevention.
All-Ukrainian Contest “Power of Agro-Changes”
Within the framework of Agro Ukraine Week, the results of the All-Ukrainian contest “Power of Agro-Changes” by the Agroportal publication were also finalized. With the support of partners, an award ceremony for the most innovative farmers of Ukraine took place on the main stage.
Solar Agro Conference
The conference was dedicated to the development of solar energy in the agricultural sector. Speakers presented practical cases of implementing solar power plants, energy storage systems, and agrovoltaic solutions. Energy efficiency is one of the key factors in the resilience of agricultural business under wartime risks.
Bioenergy Conference
At the center of attention of the Bioenergy Conference were the opportunities for biomass utilization and the development of biogas projects. Experts spoke about modern technologies for alternative energy production, the economics of bioenergy enterprises, and project financing. Legislative changes necessary to accelerate the development of the industry were discussed separately.
AgroBuild Ukraine
AgroBuild Ukraine united representatives of the construction and agricultural industries around the theme of rebuilding and modernizing agricultural infrastructure. Participants considered new safety standards, the digitalization of permitting procedures, prospects for exporting Ukrainian building materials, and the role of construction in the recovery of the agricultural sector.
The organizers express their great gratitude to all participants of the International Week, to all partners who supported the hosting of this large-scale event, and to all information partners and agro-bloggers who helped many farmers learn about Agro Ukraine Week 2026 and published news from the forums.
A low bow to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the opportunity to work, develop the agricultural industry, meet at professional events, and build the future of our country!
The first experience of Agro Ukraine Week proved to be successful. Over its three days of operation, the event brought together more than three thousand representatives of the agrarian community, confirmed the relevance of the chosen format, and identified new directions for development in the coming years.
See you at Agro Ukraine Week 2027!!!

New ICC Arbitration Rules from June 2026: Faster, Clearer, More User-Friendly
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has adopted an updated version of its Arbitration Rules. The new rules came into force on June 1, 2026, and strengthen international arbitration, particularly in the areas of efficiency, clarity, and user-friendliness.
With this reform, the ICC is responding to the growing demands of international commercial disputes and the increasing complexity of cross-border proceedings. The reform encompasses a series of changes to procedural rules aimed at more efficient management of proceedings, greater clarity in organizational matters, and a more comprehensive consideration of current trends in international arbitration practice.
The most significant innovations include, in particular:
-
a new Highly Expedited Procedure: an accelerated proceeding for disputes with a lower amount in dispute, enabling companies to resolve disputes faster and at a lower cost;
-
simplification of the course of proceedings thanks to the abolition of the traditional Terms of Reference;
-
more precise provisions regarding the organization and conduct of proceedings;
-
adaptation to current trends in international arbitration practice.
“Particularly in geopolitically and economically challenging times, companies need efficient, neutral, and internationally recognized dispute resolution mechanisms. The new ICC Arbitration Rules make an important contribution to this. The ICC reaffirms once again that it is a reliable and flexible institution whose regulations keep pace with the requirements of global economic practice,” notes Oliver Wieck, Secretary General of ICC Germany.
Current case statistics underscore the importance of ICC arbitration in international business transactions. In 2025, a total of 894 new proceedings were registered, 881 of which were under the ICC Arbitration Rules. At the end of the year, 1,869 proceedings were pending — a new record in the institution’s history. Furthermore, at the end of 2025, the ICC International Court of Arbitration registered its 30,000th case.
ICC arbitration is among the world’s leading mechanisms for resolving international commercial disputes. Parties from all regions of the world have for decades trusted the neutrality, enforceability, and high quality of ICC proceedings.

eATA Carnet
The eATA Carnet system digitalizes traditional paper ATA Carnets and their lifecycle management process, allowing users to initiate and track carnet declarations digitally at every stage of the goods’ cross-border movement.
Cross-border Operations Transition to a Paperless Format
In 2016, the eATA concept, developed by the ICC, was endorsed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) ATA/Istanbul Convention Administrative Committee. The eATA Carnet system modernizes the ATA Carnet procedure, enabling real-time management of carnets—from issuance and declaration to operations and claims—enhancing traceability and efficiency for all participants.
ATA Carnet procedures are expected to become fully digital worldwide by January 1, 2028.
What is the eATA Carnet System?
The digital ATA Carnet system, also known as the eATA Carnet system, is a suite of digital tools implemented by the ICC to digitalize the paper-based ATA Carnet procedure. Developed to meet the needs of both customs officers and regular users, the digital ATA Carnet system consists of:
-
ATA Carnet Core: The central engine and database that connects all digital components and ensures secure data exchange.
-
ATA Carnet Customs: A ready-to-use web portal that allows customs officers to verify carnets and approve transactions declared in a digital format.
-
ATA Carnet App: A secure mobile digital wallet for holders and representatives, designed for storing carnets and preparing declarations. A desktop version is also available to optimize the management of multiple carnets.

Following a successful pilot phase, the WCO ATA/Istanbul Convention Administrative Committee tasked the ICC with developing the Global Transition Plan (GTP) for eATA. Customs administrations ready to use the system can transition to the digital ATA Carnet procedure by following the Customs Preparation Guide and Readiness Checklist.
As of today, 30 countries (full list below) have announced their readiness to accept digital carnets and transition to the digital ATA Carnet procedure starting June 1, 2026. More customs administrations are expected to be ready for eATA by the end of 2027 at the latest.
How Does eATA Work?
-
From the perspective of holders:

-
From the perspective of customs:

What Happens During the Digital Transition Phase (2026–2027)?
Customs administrations around the world will not transition to the digital procedure simultaneously. That is why the Global Transition Plan (GTP) for eATA, created by the ICC, was adopted by the WCO ATA/Istanbul Convention Administrative Committee to support customs during the eATA transition.
During the digital transition at the issuance stage, issuing chambers of commerce will issue ATA Carnets either in paper format (paper carnet), digital format (digital carnet), or both formats—depending on the requirements and digital readiness status of the countries/customs territories involved in the route.

At customs checkpoints, holders and/or their representatives are required to present paper carnets in countries where customs accept only paper carnets (“paper” countries), and present digital carnets in countries where customs have already activated the use of digital carnets (digital countries). If any “paper” countries are involved in the route, paper carnets must always be validated, so certain types of operations in a mixed route will be performed in both formats.
Be sure to check the readiness of each country/territory (see the list below) on your route before departure.
The transition plan outlines six use cases demonstrating which format to apply depending on the digital readiness status of customs and the type of operation.
For comprehensive information on these scenarios, please refer to the Global Transition Plan (GTP) for eATA.
Digitalization Roadmap and Activation Dates
Countries/customs territories join the digital environment in accordance with confirmed readiness.
| Digital Country/Customs Territory* | Activation Date |
| European Union (27 Member States): Austria, Italy, Belgium, Latvia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Croatia, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Malta, Czechia, Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Estonia, Portugal, Finland, Romania, France, Slovakia, Germany, Slovenia, Greece, Spain, Hungary, Sweden, Ireland |

Ukraine needs an “Infrastructure Ramstein” to support railways and logistics during the war
Volodymyr Shchelkunov, Chair the of ICC Ukraine:
— The fifth year of the full-scale war has demonstrated that Ukraine’s transport infrastructure is no longer merely a part of the economy, but one of the key elements of national security, state resilience, and the functioning of the country. Under the current conditions, the railway has become Ukraine’s main transport artery. Due to the closed airspace, constant risks to maritime logistics, and limited capacities of road transportation, the burden on Ukrzaliznytsia is unprecedented.
In fact, today the railway simultaneously performs several strategic functions. These include the evacuation of the population from frontline regions, transportation of military and humanitarian cargo, ensuring the operation of enterprises, supporting exports and imports, as well as maintaining the stability of the domestic economy. Under such conditions, any strikes on railway infrastructure have not only local consequences, but also affect the resilience of the state as a whole.
That is why the issue of international support for Ukraine’s transport infrastructure is extremely relevant and requires a systematic approach. We have already seen examples of effective international coordination in the defense sector within the “Ramstein” format. In my opinion, Ukraine and its international partners should create a similar permanent coordination mechanism to support critical infrastructure and logistics.
This concerns the establishment of a kind of “Infrastructure Ramstein” that would operate on a permanent basis and ensure оперативне response to challenges. Such a mechanism should unite the governments of partner states, international financial organizations, development banks, transport companies, manufacturers of machinery, energy equipment, and specialized international associations.
It is especially important that assistance should not be limited solely to financing. Ukraine needs fast and practical solutions. First and foremost, this includes the supply of locomotives, railcars, energy equipment, transformers, signaling systems, automation tools, specialized repair equipment, and spare parts. It is also critically important to create an international reserve of critical equipment for the rapid restoration of damaged facilities after missile strikes.
We must understand that today the speed of infrastructure restoration has become one of the factors of state resilience. While previously the reconstruction of certain facilities could take months, now it is literally a matter of hours or days. And this is precisely where international support can play a decisive role — through simplified mechanisms of supply, financing, and technical coordination.
In addition, international insurance of transportation and logistics risks is another important area. Due to wartime threats, many international companies face high insurance rates or are not prepared to operate in the region at all. Therefore, international guarantee mechanisms are needed to help maintain cargo flows, investments, and the participation of foreign businesses in the restoration of Ukraine’s infrastructure.
Equally important is the integration of Ukraine’s transport system into the European logistics network. The war has effectively accelerated processes that were previously considered long-term. Today, Ukraine is already becoming an integral part of European transport corridors. This concerns the development of border infrastructure, increasing the capacity of border crossings, modernization of railway tracks, digitalization of logistics, and harmonization of transport standards.
For the international community, it is important to realize that supporting Ukrainian logistics is not only assistance to Ukraine. It is a matter of the stability of global markets, food security, continuity of international trade, and the economic security of Europe. Ukrainian railways ensure critically important exports of agricultural products, metallurgy, raw materials, and humanitarian cargo. Entire regions of the world depend on the stability of these transportation routes.
I would also like to emphasize separately that international support must not be reactive, but strategic. It is necessary already now to form joint long-term programs for the modernization of Ukraine’s transport infrastructure, taking into account post-war reconstruction and Ukraine’s future membership in the European Union.
Today, Ukraine is demonstrating unique experience in operating a transport system under the conditions of a full-scale war. And this experience is also valuable for international partners. Therefore, cooperation should be built not only as assistance to Ukraine, but as a joint formation of a new model of resilient, secure, and modern transport infrastructure for the whole of Europe.
