Today, January 11, a meeting was held under the chairmanship of the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, Taras Vysotskyi, with the participation of the Director General of the state institution “Institute of Soil Protection of Ukraine” Yuriy Zaytsev, the institution’s management and heads of regional branches.
At the meeting, the issue of completing work on the planned agrochemical survey of agricultural lands was discussed.
In 2022, conducting an agrochemical survey of agricultural lands was quite difficult, which is primarily due to russia’s military aggression and the conduct of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine. It should be noted that part of the planned districts were temporarily occupied in the reporting year, and significant areas of agricultural land were mined.
Despite this, the specialists of the institution did everything possible to timely conduct an agrochemical survey of agricultural lands and fulfill the planned tasks.
In connection with the occupation of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson regions, a planned survey of agricultural lands on their territory was not conducted. The total area of unsurveyed land in these regions is 29,000 ha.
As of December 31, 2022, 888.2 thousand hectares of agricultural land have been surveyed, which is 96% of the planned area.
We believe in Ukraine! We support the Armed Forces of Ukraine! We work for victory!
