Ukraine cannot compete with the People's Republic of China or the USA in the amount of financial resources that are invested at the state level in African countries. However, we can systematically and comprehensively approach the development of relations with this region in order to secure our interests there in the long term and in view of the importance of Africa for global economic growth.

Olga Trofimtseva, head of the board of the Assembly of Agrarian Chambers of Ukraine, president of the Ukrainian Agri-Food Platform, ex-ambassador on special assignments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said this in a blog on AgroPolit.com.

"Among the obvious practical steps in the development of trade, economic and investment cooperation with Africa is the gradual activation of business ties: African business knows little about Ukraine, and vice versa, therefore business and trade missions, joint projects and startups with the support of the state should become an integral part part of our activity in the region," the expert noted.

According to her, it is important for Ukraine to have a clear plan for the development of relations with the continent: to identify priority sectors and countries, focus on them and create the first successful cases.

"Many African countries (we must be realistic, certainly not all) can become our powerful partners in the region and create an additional impetus for economic recovery and growth after the victory over Russia. And our next steps in the framework of the implementation of the African strategy can be an excellent example of maneuvering, which will lead to further shaking and weakening of Russia's positions in Africa and will provide incentives for our own consolidation on this continent," added Olga Trofimtseva.
