In order to maintain the proper state of this sector of the economy, it will be necessary to restore the export capacity of the grain industry.
Despite the fact that due to the actions of the Russian armies 6 large granaries have already been destroyed in Ukraine, it cannot be said that this will cause a critical shortage of food. On the air of the national marathon, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Taras Vysotsky noted that the country currently has enough food.
“But, on the other hand, farmers need revenue to continue sowing, livestock, animal feed, to sell the product, “Vysotsky said.
One of the important factors that will allow the industry to stay afloat in wartime is to return to the export capabilities that existed in Ukraine before February 24.
“90% of exports took place through the ports of Odessa and Nikolaev. In fact, these ports have been closed for more than a month. 150,000 tons of agricultural products were exported by rail in February, 300,000 tons in March, and the potential could reach one and a half million tons, which is three times less than the port capacity. But there is an analysis of all points, we are moving, “Vysotsky said, adding that Ukraine has consistently been among the top five exporters in the industry over the past decade.
Yesterday we reported that Russia's aggression is currently assessed by Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) at $ 68.2 billion, or nearly $ 2 trillion, and in just one week the loss estimate increased by $ 5 billion.
