Nataliia Kononenko, Manager at LASKA FUND, had the opportunity to attend the large-scale event alongside participants of the Ukraine Agriculture Support Programme (UASP): the second “Women’s Power in Agriculture 2026” conference organised by Aggeek.
The event brought together agribusiness owners, women in leadership, innovators, representatives of banks, civil society and international organisations, and manufacturers of plant protection products — all those who work every day to develop Ukraine’s agricultural sector despite the many challenges.
And it was truly inspiring!
What made this day so special and valuable?
Engaging discussions and practical insights: we explored farm development, access to finance and business growth, leadership, and solutions that help overcome challenges.
A synergy of experience: new connections, valuable advice from leading industry experts and a powerful boost of inspiration for the work ahead.
This year, the conference also recognised industry leaders through the AGGEEK AGRO WOMEN 100 awards, further demonstrating that women’s leadership and influence in agriculture are becoming increasingly visible and significant.
We sincerely thank the AGGEEK organisers for creating this space for dialogue. During the event, we successfully presented the results and opportunities offered by the Women Farmers Support component of the programme, implemented by LASKA FUND in partnership with Prosper Global, with financial support from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation.
We thank all participants for the fruitful exchange of experience and new opportunities for collaboration!
Women’s farming in Ukraine is growing stronger, and we are proud to be part of this journey!
