In the process of accession to the EU, Ukraine’s agricultural sector will be gradually adapting and implementing the elements of the EU Common Agrarian Policy (EU CAP). It includes a number of elements, such as mechanisms for providing farmers with financial tools or ensuring information gathering, transparency and control.

The EU CAP includes a Conditionality system, which plays a key role in achieving climate and environmental goals, requiring farmers to comply with basic standards. Its goal is to increase the alignment of the CAP with environmental, climate and animal welfare objectives, contributing to sustainable agriculture. Conditionality includes Statutory Management Requirements (SMRs), which are mandatory for all farmers, and standards on Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions (GAEC) that apply only to recipients of financial support.
