Kiev: Prime Minister Denis Schmigel has said that reserves will be created to prevent food shortages in Ukraine, which is under Russian occupation. The grain and other foodstuffs will be stored and later used for the military and the people of Ukraine. Thus, he said, food shortages could be overcome.
Ukraine is a world leader in food production and exports. However, experts say that the Russian occupation has severely affected Ukraine’s harvests and agricultural production. It is estimated that this will lead to famine in Ukraine and other parts of the world.
In Ukraine, spring landing and planting preparations usually begin in late February or early March. This time the war, which came unexpectedly, broke all these routines. The government guarantees that Ukrainian farmers will be able to cultivate in safe places. However, experts predict that the country will face a severe shortage of fuel and seeds.
