Traditionally, on the third Sunday of November, Ukrainians celebrate the Day of Agricultural Workers. The perception of the industry and people involved in it changed much after the full-scale invasion began. While the Armed Forces of Ukraine held the military front, agricultural workers defended the humanitarian front.
The celebration of the holiday takes place annually on the basis of the Sumy National Agrarian University. Our educational institution is a forge of highly qualified specialists who develop the agricultural industry.
On November 15, a meeting with the participation of representatives of government, business and education was held at SNAU. It began with a welcome speech of Oleksandr MASLAK, Director of the Department of Agro-Industrial Development of the Sumy Regional State Administration, during which the main branches of agriculture of the Sumy Region were presented to the audience and their achievements were outlined:
There are 392 enterprises, over 1,000 farms and individual entrepreneurs in Sumy Oblast. They are officially registered and carry out economic activities that meet the needs of the regional consumer market, supply food products both to other regions of Ukraine and for export.
Congratulatory letters from the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, certificates of honor and thanks from the Sumy Regional State Administration – the Sumy Regional Military Administration were presented to the best workers and enterprises in the field of agriculture on the occasion of the holiday by the first deputy head of the Sumy Regional State Administration Taras SAVCHENKO:
We sincerely congratulate all representatives of agriculture. Sumshchyna is an agrarian and industrial region. Both components of our regional economy are very important. Special thanks to those who work in the border area. Thank you for the results. Our region is now in the top three, concerning the level of harvesting in Ukraine.
Viktor FEDORCHENKO, Chairman of the Sumy Regional Council, presented certificates from the Sumy Regional Council.
On Friday, November 17, during the university event the Vice-Rector for Research and International activities Yurii DANKO recognized the best employees and students of our educational institution, who are involved in the development and improvement of the agricultural sector:
