Raisa Vozhehova among the 100 most influential women in Ukrainian agriculture

Women’s leadership in agriculture is not only about management and business. It is also about science, bold ideas, innovation and knowledge that shape the future of Ukraine’s agricultural sector. On 6 November 2026 Kyiv hosted the large conference “Power of Women in Agro 2026”, organised by Aggeek, which brought together more than 250 members of the agricultural community — leaders in business, science, finance, international organisations and technology companies.

One of the highlights was the presentation of AGGEEK AGRO WOMEN 100, the first independent ranking of the 100 most influential women in Ukrainian agriculture. Among them is Raisa Vozhehova, Director of the Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute, included in the “Intellectual Influence” category.

This recognition reflects the power of scientific thought, many years of work, dedication and a significant contribution to Ukrainian agricultural science — knowledge that does not stay on the pages of research papers but turns into new varieties, technologies, opportunities and prospects for Ukrainian agricultural production.

The staff of the Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute warmly congratulate Raisa Vozhehova on this honour! We are proud that our Director’s scientific leadership, professionalism and contribution have been recognised nationwide. We wish her new achievements, inspiration, bold ideas and many more reasons to be proud of Ukrainian science!

The power of women in agriculture is the power of knowledge, experience and those who create the future!
