country year harvest in Ukraine is at 65% of last year
anniversary Ukrainian farmers expect a harvest of 65% of the past. Because they are carrying out spring field work on only 70% of the area from 2021
According to Ukrinform, economist Oleg Pendzin reports about it Public radio.
“There is no free food in the world. If Ukraine has not exported something to our traditional markets, food will not physically appear in those territories. There, grain prices are simply rising sharply, ”said one economist.
According to him, Russia is destroying Ukraine’s grain reserves.
“In parallel with the export of grain, Russia is resorting to shelling of grain warehouses, warehouses with chemical fertilizers, huge reserves of fuel and lubricants. Do everything to make Ukraine lose its opportunities as an agrarian country. Ukraine and Russia compete in the same food markets in the world, “Pendzin added.
The economist reminds the UN, which told the ports that the war in Ukraine and the blockade could lead to starvation of 1.7 billion people worldwide.
“Because rising food prices will lead to rising prices around the world. Many people will lose the financial opportunity to access food, “- said the expert.
As Ukrinform previously reported, Volodymyrsky predicts a tragedy for the world’s food security if Russia does not unblock Ukrainian ports.
