O.Motsyk stressed that Ukraine is one of the few countries in the world that has almost ideal conditions for agriculture, and in a short time can double its food production, which is especially important in the context of a global food security.

In his turn, the President of Monsanto, one of the leading global suppliers of agricultural products and new technologies in the agro-industrial field, informed of the current status and prospects for the expansion of the company in Ukraine.
