НIn the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, despite active fighting, farmers began spring field work. Although there are enough enemy mines in the fields, so first pyrotechnics should work there.
“Today is the first days when we have already entered the field. I hope that we will be able to work and feed them, because somewhere they are not allowed to enter the fields, somewhere there are problems to pass roadblocks. The mood rose when the fields began to go out,” – said the farmer from Mykolayiv region Ruslan Neroda.
Aggressors deliberately destroy agricultural machinery. This is stated by our military. The enemy also selects tractors to build fortifications. This threatens Ukraine’s food security. Farmers of the occupied Kherson region have estimated winter crop losses from the fighting at 3% so far. Therefore, in the south, farmers are urged not to delay field work, where possible. An exemption from service is being prepared for machine operators.
The Ministry of Energy promises farmers to deliver diesel fuel and gasoline on request. For small and medium-sized farmers, the government compensates for the rate on loans for sowing. The authorities see no reason for food shortages.
