Ukraine: investment potential of the plant growing industry totals nearly 40 mln per year – expert

The potential of the annual investment volumes in the plant growing complex of Ukraine totals nearly 40 mln USD, declared Daniel Pasko, General director of the company Horizon Capital, in his speech at the conference "AgroResources - 2013” in Kiev on February 12.

The competitive advantages (low prime cost, relatively low logistics costs), the scalability of the business, as well as the existing preconditions for global growth of prices for food commodities, became the reason for the high investment attractiveness of the plant growing industry in Ukraine, said the expert.

While speaking about the investment attractiveness of the elevator segment of Ukraine, D.Pasko noted that in the first place it has investment attractiveness for traders and vertically-integrated companies, but not for private investors and direct investment funds.

The deep-sea ports of Ukraine still remain quite investment attractive, which serve as the key link of the export infrastructure. Besides, the investments in the reporting segment provide an opportunity to strengthen the investors' positions in the Black Sea region, and the proposed reforms in the port sector allow to operate on the concession basis and create the necessary conditions for building of the infrastructure, said the General director of Horizon Capital.
