Ukraine's agricultural potential and location to
markets has not been lost on investors who increasingly see Ukraine as the
place to farm with $3 billion invested in 2013.
Agri-investments projects are often funded
by entities based in brushed steel and glass offices in cities like London and New York who once they make the decision to go farming
in Ukraine actually need someone to go farming in Ukraine.
Consequently there is a steadily increasing demand
for experienced, adaptable western agriculturists who can take the rough with
the smooth and thrive in the Ukrainian environment while pushing through the
change process on the ground required to achieve success.
If you are technically capable, adventurous,
adaptable and culturally sensitive with the ability to
tolerate excessive hospitality while staying the right side of a table, then Ukraine could be for you.
At times Ukraine is difficult,
exasperating, frustrating and sometimes slightly dangerous but where else would
you get the chance to plant more crop in one season than you might spend a
lifetime growing at home?
Plus you get to dine out on all your jaw
dropping stories.
