In the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Ukraine’s Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, Oleksii Sobolev, and Denmark’s Minister for Green Transition, Jeppe Bruus, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation.
The partnership draws on Danish experience from the Green Tripartite Agreement, opening up joint projects in bioeconomy, forest restoration, and emission reduction, particularly in the agricultural sector, while providing support for farmers through modern technologies and new market opportunities.
“The Memorandum with Denmark moves our cooperation into practical implementation. This includes attracting investments for green reconstruction projects, developing a modern agricultural sector, and taking a step towards deeper integration of European standards in climate and bioeconomy. The partnership is another step in greening our economy – where growth policies, investments, agricultural, and environmental goals work as a single system,” noted Oleksii Sobolev.
The Memorandum provides for:
The cooperation agreement will also boost exports of Ukrainian agricultural products to EU countries.
During the meeting, the parties also discussed the involvement of Danish companies in Ukraine’s reconstruction in the areas of energy, biofuels, agro-processing, and infrastructure. In addition, emphasis was placed on Denmark’s substantial financial support for the reconstruction of Mykolaiv and Mykolaiv region. In particular, during URC2025, NEFCO and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs signed an agreement on a contribution of DKK 338 million (approximately EUR 45.5 million) to support reconstruction in the region, including projects in water supply, centralised heating, energy efficiency, and accompanying green solutions.
