Agricultural complex could become one of the priority areas of cooperation between the Crimea and Spain.

Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea Anatoliy Mohyliov said this during his meeting with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Spain to Ukraine Jose Rodriguez Moyano, the press service of the Crimean government reported.

“Spain is one of Europe’s largest exporters of fruits and vegetables that are grown in greenhouses year-round. I am convinced that Ukraine, in particular Crimea, has the potential and all the opportunities to become an agricultural leader in Eastern Europe. Crimea has a favorable climate and the necessary land. We are interested in the exchange of experience and cooperation with Spain in this direction,” Anatoliy Mohyliov said.

In turn, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Spain in Ukraine said that the Crimea is a promising platform for the development of agriculture, in particular, greenhouse agriculture. “Spain is famous for its high-quality fruits and vegetables that are grown all year round. Our experience and technology could be useful in the Crimea and we are ready to share them,” Jose Rodriguez Moyano said.
