Ukraine Study Tour
map from lonelyplanet.com
Office of International Programs for Agriculture provides a
2-week study tour in May (after final exams). The plan is to visit
Ukraine and to study the culture, traditions, and business of
agriculture. Ukraine has been called the breadbasket of Europe
and now stands in a key position of development on the eastern border
of Europe, but also with strong ties to Russia. The tour will include
visits to many agribusiness firms in Kiev, Cherkassy, and Crimea.
It will include dairy products processing, beer manufacturing,
integrated poultry operations, integrated fruit and vegetable
processing, grain extrusion manufacturing, emerging food retailers, as
well as visits with existing USAID projects, exchanges with students
and faculty at the Kiev National University and the East European
University of Economics and Management in Cherkassy. Cost approximately
$2,000/student (includes lodging, meals, and transportation in
Ukraine).
Students can receive 3 credits for the trip and mandatory
Spring orientation.
