An Integrated System for Accounting and Monitoring Agricultural Fields Will Be Introduced in Ukraine
Ukraine continues to implement new digital solutions in the agricultural sector as part of its European integration commitments. The next step is the creation of an integrated system for monitoring and accounting for fields, which will become part of a unified digital ecosystem for managing the country’s agricultural sector.

Innovations in Land Accounting Systems
According to the Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine, Denys Bashlyk, around seven different accounting systems are planned to be developed in the agricultural sector. Two key systems are already in operation — the AKIS and the State Agricultural Register. The next step will be the implementation of an integrated control system that will allow for more accurate accounting of land use and optimize the administration of the sector.
“This is a system transitioning from accounting land plots by cadastral numbers to fields. In Ukraine, a field can have 100 cadastral numbers, which is inconvenient to administer and not entirely correct. Therefore, there will be a transition, not in land relations, but in agriculture and production in the field, to the accounting of fields specifically. Additionally, there will be automatic monitoring of land use,” explained Denys Bashlyk.
Automation and New Tools for Farmers
The Deputy Minister emphasized that in European countries, similar monitoring processes are carried out using satellite technologies, which significantly reduce the volume of reporting and the administrative burden on agricultural producers. This is why Ukraine aims to automate most procedures, making it easier for farmers to conduct their business activities.
Furthermore, there are plans for the further development of the State Agricultural Register, which will soon receive new practical tools for effective interaction between farmers and government agencies as well as market structures. In particular, negotiations are currently underway with several exchanges to provide agricultural producers with access to information about market conditions, internal prices, and potential counterparties.
