Cooperation Between Africa and Ukraine
On this platform we discuss methods and practices used in agriculture, trade, environmental issues, rural development, and infrastructure of African countries and Ukraine. We aim to facilitate the exchange of approaches and goals in agriculture, as well as strengthen cooperation between Ukraine and African countries. We invite you to contribute to achieving this goal by participating in our events, using the data in your research, or sharing your ideas with us!
