Ukraine's potential accession to the European Union may become one of the defining factors shaping the future of the Polish economy — most notably in agriculture and food processing, where Polish and Ukrainian interests may converge and compete.
The discussion will focus on the opportunities and risks associated with Ukraine's European integration, including its impact on the agri-food sector and trade, as well as the conditions under which EU enlargement could serve as a driver of growth rather than a source of imbalance.
Key Topics:
The impact of Ukraine's EU integration on the competitive landscape of Poland's agricultural sector
Opportunities and risks for agri-food trade and the food processing industry
Prospects for cooperation in processing and the development of high-value-added products
Potential effects on market stability and competitive conditions
Conditions under which EU enlargement can become a growth driver for both countries
