UKRAINE 2025. Visit of Rein Paulsen, Director of FAO’s Office of Emergencies and Resilience, to Zaporizka oblast, Ukraine

28 May 2025, Zaporizka oblast, Ukraine - In Zaporizka oblast, Maksym Tambovtsev, head of the Agroinvest-2013 farm, received a voucher worth USD 1 000 and in-kind seed support from FAO funded by the Government of France. The assistance helped restore operations disrupted by the war, improve food production capacity and prevent further displacement. During his visit, Rein Paulsen, Director of FAO’s Office of Emergencies and Resilience, met with the farm team to observe firsthand how such support enhances resilience, food security and local economies. Operating on 272 hectares near the frontline, the farm sustains surrounding hromadas through in-kind rent payments, jobs and hosting displaced farmers – demonstrating agriculture’s key role in livelihood recovery and social cohesion.
