Ukraine has stockpiled the necessary food products, but due to the ongoing war and the inability to export Ukrainian agricultural products, issues may arise in a number of countries.
That’s according to a Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers, Oleh Nemchynov, who spoke at a national telethon.
“We have repeatedly said that Ukraine has stocks of all necessary products. But how the world will live without Ukrainian grain, without Ukrainian corn, without Ukrainian oil is a big question,” Nemchynov said.
In this regard, he recalled that President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to world leaders to help unblock seaports so that grain could be exported to prevent famine in a number of countries, and called on Russia to prevent the sale of stolen grain.
The Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers also noted that the sowing campaign had been completed in almost half of the regions. According to the official, the area under crops is slightly smaller than last year. Farmers have changed the structure of crops, he added.
“But in general, the sowing was quite successful, despite the fact that the enemy tried to disrupt it, purposefully striking oil depots, warehouses, silos, destroying equipment and in the temporarily occupied regions – simply stealing it,” said the official. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
