Mykola has been working in the agricultural industry for about 30 years. The man manages a farm in Kyiv region that sells seeds on the country’s domestic market. (Specifically, legume, wheat, buckwheat, barley, oats seeds, etc.).

However, due to russia’s full-scale invasion and the blockade of sea ports, Ukrainian farmers cannot sell their crops, so they have no money to buy new seeds.

So, the farm managed by Mykola was able to sell only 10% of last year’s stock of soft wheat seeds.

For reference: On the topic of agricultural enterprises and other farms affected by the full-scale war, journalists are welcome to receive comments from experts of the “Ukrainian Agrarian Council” and the international fund SaveUA, which was created by agrarians in the first days of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Decisions of European countries to ban the import of Ukrainian grain will lead to significant losses and may significantly affect this year’s sowing campaign and the country’s economy in general, Ukrainian agricultural experts say.

“Now, after long rains, farmers are planting crops en masse, and now they again do not understand what to do, whether to sow, if so what crops, whether they will need the products, and whether they will be able to export them,” Roman Slaston, Director General of the Ukrainian Agrarian Business Club Association, said.

The Producer Department of Media Center Ukraine is ready to help with the contacts of Ukrainian experts who can comment on the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain.
