Dear User,

I wanted you to be amongst the first to know that the official programme has just been published for the 4th annual Adam Smith Conferences’ Agribusiness in Ukraine forum, which is taking place from 13th – 15th March 2012 at the Hotel Intercontinental in Kyiv.

As 2012 approaches, clear vision and guidance is required to ensure that Ukraine cements its position as one of the leading agrarian nations of the world. As never before, it is crucial that there is ongoing dialogue between the government and business. Therefore it is pleasing to note that Mykola Prysyazhnyuk, Minister for Agrarian Policy & Food of Ukraine, and Grigory Kaletnik, Chairman of the Rada Agrarian Committee, have both confirmed their intention to speak, recognising that the forum is a unique platform for dialogue with business.

During research you indicated to us that you wished to hear from as many agrarian companies as possible. We are pleased to say that the confirmed speakers already feature shareholders and top executives of the likes of Avangard, MHP, Agroliga, Ukrproduct, Svarog-West, Astarta, KSG Agro, Ukrzernpromagro, Noble Resources, Nestle, Cargill, First National Winery Holding and Industrial Milk Company.

They will be joined by a host of experts, representing the likes of the UN FAO, Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation, EBRD, IFC and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Stand-out features of the AUF-12 include:

• A briefing day for the Ukrainian Agrarian CFO on 13th March. With the dynamic growth that so many leading agrarian companies have enjoyed, the finance function has taken on a crucial role in guiding corporate strategy. Hear first hand from the leading finance experts in the sector (read briefing day programme);
• Sector-specific working groups. A popular interactive element, these will include Grains and Oils, Milk and Dairy, Sugar, Alcohol, Fruit and Vegetables and Meat and Poultry;
• Numerous topical debates and panel discussions on such key issues as the Grain Market, Land Reform, Investor perceptions and Relations with Processors and Retailers;
• A rich social programme featuring 2 drinks receptions, 9 refreshment breaks and our online networking tool E-Connect.
