In Ukraine, the agent's losses from the war were calculated: how it will affect the new sowing campaign
According to the profile minister Taras Vysotsky, a number of initiatives implemented at the government and international levels allowed to support the agricultural sector and make a significant contribution to Ukraine's international and food security. For example, within the framework of the privileged loan program, farmers have issued almost 90 billion hryvnias of credit financing. "We are also constantly holding a focus on small manufacturers - they have been operating for them.
In particular, we launched a subsidy program per 1 ha of agricultural land and a special budget subsidy for cows content for more than UAH 1. 6 billion," Vysotsky said. In addition, as Taras Vysotsky noted, special works are already being carried out in the territories released from the occupiers, which will increase the yield in the new sowing season.
"200 million hryvnias have already been allocated to restore the irrigation system in the controlled territory, which will increase the yield," the minister added. Also in 2023 the government plans to continue and expand the grant program to support agrarians. With limited exports, Ukrainian agrarians in the summer of 2022 were forced to sell last year's harvest at penalized prices.
In October 2022, the Deputy Director of the Institute of Agrarian Economy for Scientific Work said that this year the cost of grain increased by 30%, and the agrarian to cover its own expenses, it is necessary to save at least 5 thousand UAH for a tonne of grain, but such a price is internal. The market is incapable. In no case does the food shortage do not threaten Ukraine.
