The aim was to support Ukraine in reforming its agricultural policy and legislation, taking into account the international experience of Germany and other countries as well as international organizations (EU, WTO) in accordance with market economy regulatory principles. APD's core agricultural policy issues included alignment with EU standards, agricultural market development, modernization of agricultural science and research, and development of effective agricultural support measures.
