Ukrainian Agricultural Policy and Food Minister Taras Kutovy has presented the three plus five strategy for developing the agricultural sector to parliament.

"There are three key directions we want to focus on: the land reform and transparent land turnover, the second – the government support reform and focus on small and medium farmers, and the third – the reform of state-run enterprises, increase of their profits, efficiency and their privatization if we see that this is the sole effective way of development," he said speaking in parliament on Friday.

The core five vectors of the ministry's operation are linked to the development of rural areas, expansion of sales markets, organic production and niche crops, irrigation, safety and quality of foods (the launch of the effective operation of the State Service for Food Safety and Protection of Consumer Rights).
