IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is launching a new advisory program to modernize Ukraine’s dairy industry, part of broader efforts to spur economic growth across the country.
The five-year project, implemented in partnership with the Austrian government, is expected to help 40,000 small- and medium-scale dairy farmers access financing, boost production, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and gain access to export markets. As well as supporting the development of dairy cooperatives, it will help farmers implement climate-smart, sustainable farming practices that meet global requirements, according to IFC.
