GOPA Group CEO, Dr. Martin Güldner, and GOPA AFC Managing Director, Johannes Buschmeier, extend their sincere congratulations to our GOPA AFC colleague, Dr. Stefan Dreesmann, for being honored by Ukraine’s Minister of Agriculture, Vitaliy Koval, on World Organic Day!

The celebration in Kyiv, attended by over 200 participants, highlighted the impactful role of our project, "German-Ukrainian Cooperation in Organic Farming."

Dr. Stefan Dreesmann received an award for his "significant contribution to the development of the organic market in Ukraine," and we thank Svitlana Shchokina for accepting this honor on his behalf.

We are also proud to announce that, thanks to the initiatives from German-Ukrainian Cooperation in Organic Agriculture (COA) and significant support from Zukunftsstiftung Landwirtschaft, the State of Lower Saxony, and BMEL, we have successfully raised 1.9 million euros to support the organic sector in Ukraine since 2022.

We encourage everyone to support the new appeal by Zukunftsstiftung for emergency aid to organic farming in Ukraine: Wir lassen Taten sprechen - GLS Bank

Every contribution we make is essential to uphold organic farming as a pillar of sustainability, under the challenges of war!
