On December 17, 2024, the Ambassador of Israel to Ukraine Michael Brodsky met with the Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Vitaly Koval.
At the meeting, the prospects for the participation of Israeli companies in key agricultural projects in Ukraine were discussed.
Main topics of the meeting included:
- implementation drip irrigation technologieswhich have long become a standard in Israel;
- development of agricultural processing systems;
- support for dairy production and livestock farming;
- fish farming projects.
These initiatives highlight how Israeli innovation can drive the development of Ukraine's agricultural sector.
“Israel has unique experience in agriculture, especially in conditions of water scarcity. This knowledge can be useful to Ukraine to increase the efficiency of its agro-industrial complex,” – noted Michael Brodsky.
Why is this important: Israeli experience for Ukraine
Israel is a country that over the decades has transformed from a desert into one of the world leaders in agriculture. The introduction of drip irrigation allowed not only to save water, but also to increase productivity.
Key advantages of Israeli technologies:
- Water saving: Drip irrigation allows you to reduce water consumption by up to 50-70%.
- Yield increase: Accurate distribution of water and fertilizer improves crop growing efficiency.
- Resilience to climate change: modern systems are adapted to droughts and extreme temperatures.
These technologies may be especially relevant for the southern regions of Ukraine, which are already facing problems of drought and water shortages.
What do the statistics say?
- According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, in 2023 the agricultural sector amounted to 12% of GDP countries.
- However, due to climate change and outdated technologies, water losses in agriculture reach 40-50%.
- The implementation of Israeli solutions can reduce these losses by 30-40% already in the first years.
Previously: cultural cooperation between Ukraine and Israel
It is worth noting that the meeting with the Minister of Agrarian Policy is not the only initiative of Ambassador Michael Brodsky. Earlier in December, he held talks with the Minister of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine. Projects to strengthen cultural ties between the two countries were on the agenda.
Main results of the cultural meeting:
- Planning joint events dedicated to Jewish and Ukrainian culture.
- Exchange programs for students and professionals in the field of art.
- Development of multimedia projects about the joint history of the Jewish and Ukrainian peoples.
“Culture is a bridge that unites peoples. Our cooperation with Ukraine is important not only at the technological level, but also in the humanitarian sphere,” – emphasizes NAnews.
General view: a new era in Israeli-Ukrainian relations
On the website NAnews – Israel News It has been emphasized more than once that cooperation between Ukraine and Israel is developing in several directions: from agricultural technologies to cultural exchanges.
“These projects are not just investments. This is a contribution to strengthening friendship between our countries, based on common values and mutual understanding,” – note NAnovosti.
Why is this interesting to Israel?
Ukraine is one of the largest agricultural countries in Europe, with rich potential for modernization. Israeli companies, thanks to their experience, can not only make technological contributions, but also gain access to a new market.
Benefits for Israeli companies:
- Possibility of introducing advanced technologies.
- Expanding the export of equipment and software solutions.
- Strengthening economic ties between countries.
Conclusion: prospects and expectations
Ambassador Michael Brodsky's initiatives underscore Israel's strategic interest in cooperation with Ukraine. The agricultural projects discussed at the meeting with Minister Vitaly Koval could become an important step towards strengthening economic and cultural ties.
