«Ukrainian farmers are completing the harvest for the fourth consecutive year under the conditions of a full-scale war and are once again demonstrating extraordinary resilience and good results. Up to 60 million tons of grains and up to 20 million tons of oilseeds are expected. The harvested yield is completely sufficient to provide Ukrainians with food and to form a stable feed base for the livestock industry. Approximately two-thirds of the produce will be exported, so Ukraine remains an important guarantor of global food security and a reliable partner for the world. A significant part of the produce will be processed domestically, creating added value and boosting Ukrainian exports,» commented Deputy Minister Taras Vysotskyi.
