🌾 Meet the team behind Polissya. For over two decades, Polissya has cultivated success in the heart of Ukraine’s agricultural landscape. From cereals and pulses to oilseeds and dairy production – they are the experts. Through the support by EFSE (advised by Finance in Motion) and EU4Business as part of the Business in Action program, Polissya were able to adapt their milking and dairy cow management techniques. By investing in better milking machines, they lightened the workload for their staff, improved milk quality and working conditions — all without compromising yield or profitability. 📹 Watch Polissya’s success story here: https://lnkd.in/endP7T3V #StandWithUkraine #SustainableDevelopment #BusinessResilience
