Ukraine's grain harvest this year will fall by 10% this year, the government estimates, which will be felt around the world, although the restoration of export capacity from Russia-threatened Black Sea ports allows the country to remain a major global supplier.

The Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation together with the key agricultural associations led by the public union "All-Ukrainian Agrarian Forum" appeal to COPA COGECA, as the leading voice of European agriculture, to start an open dialogue with Ukrainian colleagues on urgent issues of agricultural trade, instead of lobbying to block the import of key Ukrainian agricultural products by the European Commission.
