News From Agro-Industrial Complex

The war started by Russia against Ukraine has left its mark on the country’s economy, particularly on agriculture. The disruption of supply chains and agricultural production has already caused significant damage to the people, the economy, and the environment of Ukraine. Despite these difficulties, the country faces the task of restoring the agriculture sector and making it sustainable.

The DENIZ M bulk carrier will deliver 30,000 tonnes of humanitarian wheat to Ethiopia. Under the auspices of the WFP, more than half a million tonnes of Ukrainian wheat have already been delivered to needy countries in Africa and Asia. 

Ukrainian farmers will not be able to sow about 20% of the country’s farmland due to the Russian occupation, pollution, or mine contamination.

That’s according to Dmytro Solomchuk, a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy, Ukrinform reports with reference to the parliament's website.

On Monday, March 20, the Valsamitis vessel delivered a humanitarian cargo of 30 thousand tons of wheat to the Kenyan port of Mombasa.
