Prospects for persimmon cultivation in Ukraine: new horizons for agribusiness

Abstract

Persimmons are an essential crop with rich nutritional, medicinal, and economic significance. In the context of climate change, their resilience and ability to adapt to drought make them a promising crop for cultivation in arid regions. This crop can become a delicious and healthy product on the tables of Ukrainians and a profitable business for farmers. With the right approach to technological elements, variety selection, and marketing, persimmons can take a worthy place in Ukrainian agriculture, contributing to the region's economic development and improving the population's quality of life. Persimmons are a promising crop with great potential for growth in Ukraine and other countries. The yield of persimmons varies depending on the region, but overall, it has the potential to achieve high figures with proper care and variety selection. Increasing the area of persimmon plantations could become one of the effective strategies for adapting to climate change.
