On the “Suspilne” broadcast, the Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine for Digital Development, Digital Transformations and Digitization, Denys Bashlyk, commented on the key losses and needs of farmers caused by the Russian Federation’s full-scale war against Ukraine. This is reported by Ministry of Agricultural Policy.
«”The key logistical problem was the blocking of sea ports. It was important to reorient our exports to alternative routes. Thanks to our European partners, “Paths of Solidarity” were developed. Today, we have reached the pre-war level of exports, which is approximately 6.8 million tons of products per month,” said Denys Bashlyk.
The Deputy Minister also pointed out the main problems that may arise during the spring sowing campaign:
- lack of working capital in agricultural enterprises;
- lack of seed material;
- electricity problems.
“We are working to provide critical needs for the spring planting campaign. Today, there are a number of agreements with international partners to ensure these three directions,” Denys Bashlyk summarized.
