Ukraine Gate – Kyiv – June 8, 2022- Preparations for the harvest are beginning in Ukraine in view of the challenges facing farmers.
The Prime Minister Denis Shmygal reported in a Telegram.
\u201cThe sowing campaign, despite unprecedented challenges, was successful. According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food, 75% of last year’s areas have been sown, \u201d Shmygal said .
According to him, within the program of soft loans “5-7-9” to support agricultural producers, banks issued 38.5 billion UAH, of which – 24 billion UAH under the program of state portfolio guarantees.
\u201cNow we are starting preparations for the harvest. And we understand the main challenges facing farmers now. The first is the need to harvest. The Ministry of Infrastructure is working on measures to increase capacity on the western border of Ukraine. After all, due to Russia’s blockade of Ukrainian ports, we still have 23.5 million tons of grain and oilseeds, \u201dthe head of government stressed.
The second challenge, he said, is to preserve the new harvest.
\u201cThe Ministry of Agrarian Policy is considering the possibility of organizing mobile storage, taking into account international experience. This will allow Ukraine to increase storage volumes by 10-15 million tons, \u201dShmygal said.
Another important issue is the provision of fuel for farmers.
\u201cDuring the meeting, he instructed the relevant ministries and the VCA to provide the necessary amount of diesel fuel for the harvest season. The government has taken all possible measures to successfully carry out the most difficult sowing campaign in history. Now we have to carry out the harvest and harvesting no less successfully, \u201dthe head of government stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
