Economic expert at the State Investment Department of Ukraine Andriy Yarmak is confident that starting in 2019, so-called niche crops will be in high demand among the Ukrainian consumer and in the field of farmers.

In particular, Yarmak emphasized asparagus, which is popular among gourmets around the world, but is unfairly cultivated in Ukraine.

As part of the forecast for the agricultural sector of Ukraine for the current year, the expert noted that the next ten years, asparagus will be actively introduced into the gardens of Ukrainians and in their diet. The specialist relies on the greenhouse cultivation of this crop and sees no good reason why Ukrainian farmers should not start growing asparagus this season.

Yarmak is confident that in the coming years, Ukrainian asparagus may become a star of domestic exports.
