Важлива стаття від Forbes Україна: https://lnkd.in/ej3utnVA

Незважаючи на жорстоку агресію Росії, український агросектор продемонстрував неймовірну стійкість та здатність адаптуватися.

Ось деякі ключові моменти:

Зниження експорту: Через війну експорт українського зерна скоротився на 36%.

Нові маршрути: Україна переорієнтувала експорт на сусідні країни ЄС, а також через порти Дунаю та Чорного моря.

Державна підтримка: Уряд України запровадив низку заходів для підтримки аграріїв,

Виклики: Залишаються значні виклики, такі як мінування полів, нестача робочої сили та логістичні труднощі.

Майбутнє: Попри всі складнощі, український агросектор має значний потенціал для зростання після закінчення війни.

Again great news for Ukrainian exporters and logistic operators!
Finally polish protesters lifted the blockade of all checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. Checkpoints "Sheghini - Medica", "Krakivets - Korchova" and "Dorogusk - Yagodin" were finally unblocked after more than 2 months of strikes. 60% of Ukrainian products with added value move across the western border by trucks, so it is important for us that this corridor works rhythmically.

This module is all about logistics so we decided to share some positive information about development of Ukrainian logistics.

Great news for Ukraine-Montenegro trade!
Exciting developments for businesses in Ukraine and Montenegro! The Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine and the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs of Montenegro have agreed to liberalize all cargo transportation between the two countries, effective June 1, 2024.
This move eliminates permit requirements for cargo movement, streamlining logistics, reducing costs, and paving the way for increased trade volumes.
Key benefits:
Simplified logistics: No more need for special permits, making transportation between the countries quicker and easier.
Reduced costs: Businesses can benefit from lower transportation expenses.
Boosted trade: Increased trade flows will benefit both Ukrainian and Montenegrin economies.
This agreement builds on the success of the existing automobile transportation agreement between the two countries, which has seen trade turnover grow sevenfold in a decade.
Looking ahead:
The Ministry is also working on developing regular and irregular bus services between Ukraine and Montenegro, further improving connectivity.
This is a positive step towards stronger economic ties between Ukraine and Montenegro.

Важлива новина для українського експорту!

Європейський парламент та Рада ЄС досягли попередньої домовленості про продовження тимчасових торговельних заходів для України.

Що це означає?
Збереження безмитного та безквотного доступу до ринку ЄС для української сільськогосподарської продукції ще на один рік, до 5 червня 2025 року.
Підтримка української економіки та сприяння її поступовій інтеграції до внутрішнього ринку ЄС.

Проте можуть бути застосовані захисні заходи для фермерів ЄС:

Механізм екстренного гальмування для для особливо чутливих сільськогосподарських продуктів, зокрема птиці, яєць, цукру, вівса, крупи, кукурудзи та меду.
Перегляд мит, якщо імпорт цих продуктів перевищить середні обсяги за 2021-2023 роки.
Моніторинг імпорту зерна, зокрема пшениці.

Це важливий крок на шляху до постійної лібералізації торгівлі між Україною та ЄС.

While preparing to negotiations we advise to use Harvard Negotiation Concept, also known as principled negotiation, a structured approach to reaching mutually beneficial agreements in any negotiation scenario.

Harvard Negotiation Concept supports your negotiations if you are ready to invest time and efforts into the preparation and will follow the win-win approach to its possible extend.

• It is for you if you want a long-term partnership with this client, not just a quick win = > Know your client, its objectives, desires and hidden values = > Our EBDG clients usually want sales or hand-by-hand support in everyday export operations or trusted source to get market insights.

• Do preliminary research to prepare your positions and define your counterpart’s interests => Clearly separate people from their positions and their real interests = > Ours want a trusted supplier / outsourcer to make decisions.

• Clarify your goals and expected outcome: Zone of Possible Agreement, your BATNA (Best alternative to a negotiated agreement) both in money, time and project essence and…
Be ready to go away if you do not meet your requirements.
