Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Markiyan Dmitrasevich told how the international community can help minimize these inevitable threats, the agency said.
"In the short term, two projects are a priority for Ukrainian agrarians and farmers. The first is a project of an international fund for the purchase of agricultural products from Ukrainian farmers with subsequent exports. It is supposed that governmental organizations and big international companies will participate in the fund. For Ukrainian agrarians it will give them the necessary current capital for sowing and harvesting campaigns this and next year. The second project is construction of transshipment transboundary terminals for grain crops and vegetable oils. Their main idea is to cross the border with products through grain conveyors and pipelines for oils," he said.
Medium-term projects are also attractive, added the Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy. For example, the development of bioenergy, because Ukraine can produce about 2 billion cubic meters of biomethane, so in the future we can build more than 300 complexes for processing of organic waste and silage into biomethane. As well as an increase in processing volumes by 85% - from the current level of 20.1 million tons/year to 38.8 million tons/year.
Markiyan Dmitrasevich underlined that if it is not done, if it is not possible to realize its production, and accordingly - in the absence of circulating assets, high prices for fuel, fertilizers and logistics, the Ukrainian farmers will not be able to work on the new harvest.
