Ukrainian farmers had no choice but to give last year's harvest for starch.
The lion's share of last year's potato harvest did not hit the shelves , as millions of consumers were forced to leave Ukraine. In addition, some warehouses were under occupation. Farmers are currently donating tons of potatoes for starch, according to the “Breakfast with 1 + 1” story.

However, Ukraine may need a maximum of 12 thousand tons of starch per year, so the only way out is to export.
According to a fruit and vegetable expert from the World Development Bank Oksana Ruzhenkova, are currently considering appeals to the embassies of a number of countries with a shortage of potato starch (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan).
