By the end of 2025, Ukraine’s agricultural sector—excluding agro-processing—recorded 18 mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals with a total value of approximately $167 million, according to the annual study by InVenture, ProAgro Group reports.
Analysts note that the agricultural sector remains one of the key drivers of investment activity in Ukraine’s M&A market, despite geopolitical uncertainty and risks associated with the prolonged war.
According to the study, the total number of M&A transactions in Ukraine in 2025 amounted to 123 deals worth around $1.35 billion. As a result, the share of the agricultural segment—excluding agro-processing—exceeded 12%, underscoring agriculture’s attractiveness to investors.
InVenture experts emphasize that investor activity in the agricultural sector was driven, among other factors, by stable export potential, the concentration of land assets, and the strategic importance of agricultural production for Ukraine’s economy.
Despite wartime risks and uncertainty, the agricultural segment continues to attract both domestic and foreign investors, who view M&A deals as a tool for portfolio diversification and market expansion.
As previously reported, ENSELCO HOLDING LIMITED, owned by the main shareholder of Kernel Andrii Verevskyi, applied to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine for approval to acquire assets of the Agro‑Region Group.
