Capital investment in agriculture rose by 74%.
During the first six months of 2016 the volume of capital investment in agriculture Ukraine has increased to 17 billion USD., Which is 73.8% higher than last year.
During this period, investments in the agricultural sector is the largest among the other economic activities in Ukraine.
The increase of capital investments was the result of relatively stable economic situation over the last year and partial satisfaction of deferred investment needs over the years 2014-2015, when economic and political instability virtually stopped any investment activity in the agricultural sector.
Growth capital investment, though a positive trend and shows the attractiveness of the agricultural sector, even in crisis conditions, however, given the high proportion of depreciation of fixed assets and industrial infrastructure, Ukrainian agribusiness needs ten times more money than currently invested.
