Ukraine and Latvia are interested in intensifying cooperation in the areas of forestry, fisheries, animal husbandry and breeding. This was discussed during the 6th joint meeting of the intergovernmental Ukrainian-Latvian commission for economic, industrial and scientific-technical cooperation, the press service of the Agrarian Policy and Food Ministry of Ukraine reports.

Ukraine's Agricultural Policy and Food Ministry has said that around 30% of the cost of Ukrainian-made agricultural machinery with the localization level of 50% could be refunded from the budget.

Ukraine as of November 25 had threshed 61.6 million tonnes of grain and leguminous crops from 13.6 million hectares (95% of the forecast).

The battle between farmers and Ukrzaliznytsia is going on. "Record Harvest Spells More Trouble for Conflict-Hit Ukraine" is a title of new Bloomberg's article.  

According to Bloomberg, as if Ukraine’s battered economy and political conflicts with Russia weren’t dismaying enough, a logjam on the country’s Soviet-era rail network is preventing some farmers from shipping bumper harvests in the breadbasket of Eastern Europe.
