In 2008, when Ukraine introduced grain export quotas, most private grain investors started to limit their investment activities in the country. In response, FAO and EBRD stepped in to encourage dialogue between government and private stakeholders to support the emergence of enabling agricultural policies. As a part of the FAO/EBRD Project on Reinforcing the Public-Private Dialogue in the Ukrainian Grain Sector, a visit of a Working Group of the Ukrainian grain market was organized in Italy to learn more about grain market analysis, the new Agricultural Marketing Information System (AMIS), the approach of FAO to food security and also to establish links with the Italian grain sector.
