It's time to give agriculture the attention it deserves
Summary. Central and Eastern Europe's agriculture sector, accounting for 2–5% of GDP and employing millions, remains underinvested and undervalued compared to tech and manufacturing. The region hosts emerging agri-tech innovators like Poland's SatAgro and Lithuania's Agrokoncernas, while venture capital investment reached €3 billion in 2023. Modernizing agriculture through technology, land consolidation, and sustainability practices could boost productivity, create rural jobs, and strengthen Europe's food security.
