    Agricultural policy in Ukraine in mid-2005: Two steps forward, three steps back

    (Code:U9)

    Recent weeks have witnessed a series of agricultural policy decisions and pronouncements in Ukraine that have shocked and disappointed those who hoped that the new, post-orange-revolution Government would accelerate the economic reform process and Ukraine’s transition towards full membership in the world agricultural trading community. In the following we first consider recent policy developments on meat and grain markets, which represent the two most important examples of this disturbing turn of events. We next briefly consider the “Increased Welfare through Agricultural Development” concept that has recently been drafted by the Chamber of Agriculture. This concept, if adopted as official policy, would bring what is left of market oriented reforms in Ukrainian agriculture to a screeching halt. We close with recommendations for putting the agricultural reform process in Ukraine back on track.
