Friends, colleagues, visitors to my page. Briefly about me. I was born in Ukraine, in the village of Burshtyn, Ivano-Frankivsk region. But since childhood, I have lived in Uman and have been investing my knowledge and experience in the development of my region and Ukraine. Uman is the headquarters of the largest agricultural association in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Agri Council. I graduated from the local agricultural university. Then I studied in Sweden, where I received an MBA degree. I completed internships in leading food-producing countries: the USA, Canada, China, the Netherlands, Germany, Israel, Brazil, and Argentina.After studying abroad, I returned to Ukraine in 2002 and started attracting investments to the country. I founded the Association of Milk Producers (AMP), which unites more than 150 dairy farms. The average farm size is 400 cows. I also founded the Ukrainian Pig Producers Association (UPPA), which covers 60% of the industrial pork market. And finally, in 2014 I became the founder of the Ukrainian Agri Council (UAC), which unites more than 1 200 agricultural enterprises with a total land area of 4 000 000 hectares.From the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, together with members of the UAC, I founded the SaveUA charity foundation to support Ukrainian farmers in the most difficult times, provide food to millions of people affected by the war, and help hospitals with medicines and equipment. In August 2023, our foundation was included in the Forbes ranking of the 50 Largest Charitable Organizations in Ukraine.
