The formation of agricultural holdings (AH) in Ukraine as modern corporate structures in the agricultural sector is a relatively new business trend. It has emerged during the last 4-6 years and is characterized by professionalization of agricultural operations and vertical and horizontal integration into one corporate structure. Today, more than 25 AH exist in Ukraine, accumulating not only significant land banks (according to some sources about 4 million hectares), but also advanced technologies and management up to international standards.
