On May 29–30, 2025, Parkovy Convention & Exhibition Center hosted the 10th Grain Ukraine Conference — a meeting point for the key players shaping the future of Ukraine’s agri sector. Nearly one thousand attendees turned Grain Ukraine into the country’s largest platform for discussing Ukraine’s agricultural future.
The event took place on the complex’s third floor. The heart of the program was the Convention and Concert Hall, where 50+ speakers took the stage. Top voices from the grain market, logistics, food sector, finance, investors, and government discussed new political, economic, and logistical pathways to advance Ukrainian grain globally.

Conference values highlighted by Grain Ukraine:
- Unity: staying one despite differences.
- Identity: speaking loudly and recognizably amid global trends.
- Dignity: never devaluing ourselves or Ukrainian grain.
- Will: refusing to yield to blockades and aggressors.
The third floor also featured a dedicated expo zone: presentations by logistics providers, equipment suppliers for producers and processors, banks, law and insurance firms, plus a special area for agritech startups.
On the summer terrace, organizers installed an additional mobile screen for attendees’ convenience. It hosted the evening networking program with panoramic views and informal conversations.
During the evening, a charity auction raised over UAH 100,000 for the Superhumans Center, which helps restore the lives of military and civilian patients after severe injuries. The night’s headliner was a performance by Kozak System.
“Grain Ukraine is that place and event you can call a must-visit for Ukraine’s agrarian market. If you want to know what’s happening in grain and oilseeds, you need to be at Grain Ukraine,”— Iryna Bondarenko, Producer, Grain Ukraine Conference.
