In 2025, Ukraine recorded significant growth in capital investment, with the total volume increasing by 25.2% compared with 2024 to reach UAH 669.3 billion. The data was published by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine.
In the agricultural sector, investment also showed positive momentum, although growth was more moderate at 7%. Total investment in agriculture amounted to UAH 1.23 billion. At the same time, the internal structure of investment within the sector changed significantly.
The largest share of funds, nearly UAH 1.2 billion, was directed to crop production. This segment continues to dominate the agricultural sector and increased its investment volume by 10% over the year, indicating sustained investor interest in agricultural crop cultivation.
At the same time, the situation in livestock was the opposite: investment in this segment fell sharply, declining by half compared with the previous year to UAH 23.3 million. This points to lower investment attractiveness or rising risks in the sector.
The processing segment, particularly food production, is also worth highlighting, as it showed rapid investment growth. In 2025, investment in food manufacturing increased by 1.6 times to UAH 607.9 million.
The largest share of these investments went to vegetable oil production, which attracted UAH 463.6 million, up 43% year-on-year. Significant growth was also recorded in meat product manufacturing, which reached UAH 51.3 million, up 91%, and in dairy production, which rose to UAH 34.4 million, a 4.5-fold increase.
Several smaller segments posted even stronger growth rates. Investment in flour production increased 4.2 times to UAH 9.2 million, while investment in bakery products tripled to UAH 31.6 million.
Thus, despite the overall increase in investment in Ukraine’s agricultural sector, the main activity remains concentrated in crop production and food processing, while livestock continues to lose investment ground.
