Credit Agricole is the exclusive financial partner of the XIV International Large Farm Management Conference

Credit Agricole traditionally supports one of the largest agricultural events of the autumn – the international Large Farm Management Conference, which will be held on September 12 at the production facilities of “Agro-Region” in the village of Velyka Oleksandrivka, Kyiv oblast. The event is organized by the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club Association and UCABevent Agency.

For many consecutive years, the Bank has been involved in the organization and holding of this international event, as servicing the agribusiness is one of the focus areas of Credit Agricole’s development. Agribusiness represents 50% of the Bank’s corporate portfolio.

LFM is a unique business conference for Ukraine and Europe, which combines various aspects of agribusiness management. Every year the conference becomes an effective platform for communication and exchange of experience between leading agricultural producers, investors, representatives of resource and service companies and innovative start-ups.

This year’s conference will focus on the following topics:

• Agribenchmarking: comparing best practices under wartime conditions
• Seasonal interim results: production, exports, logistics
• Human resources issues. Where to look for staff?
• Seeds, crop protection products, machinery, fertilizers: keeping calm in turbulent times
• Financing agribusiness during war: tools, risks, guarantees.
