Agriculture is one of the most sensitive areas in the future integration of Ukraine with the European Union. This issue is the main focus of this publication – mBank–CASE Seminar Proceedings No. 183 – prepared in connection with the 183rd mBank–CASE seminar held on 12 December 2024.
The seminar brought together Polish and Ukrainian experts representing academia, research institutions and the business sector. Participants in the discussion included Wawrzyniec Czubak, Sławomir Kalinowski, Grzegorz Brodziak, Grzegorz Kozieja, Volodymyr Lapa, Alex Lissitsa and Oleg Nivievskyi.
The publication contains three papers prepared by participants of the seminar. The authors analyze the role of agriculture in the economies of Ukraine and Poland and examine the potential consequences of integrating Ukraine’s agricultural sector into the European Union’s single market. They highlight both the similarities between the two economies – including high levels of food self-sufficiency, the importance of agriculture for employment, and strong export positions – and the structural differences that may lead to significant adjustments during the accession process.
The authors also discuss possible directions for economic adaptation and the role that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) may play in supporting this transformation.
This issue represents another contribution by CASE – Center for Social and Economic Research to the debate on the future enlargement of the European Union and Ukraine’s integration with the European market.
