Prime Minister: Even despite a difficult and exhausting war, Ukraine remains one of the guarantors of global food security

The third sowing campaign during the full-scale war has started in most regions. 68,000 hectares of grain and legumes have been sown. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

"Last year, farmers sowed 12.75 million hectares of spring crops. We expect that this year's sown areas will not decrease. This is crucial for strengthening our economy, for both Ukraine's and the world's food security," the Head of Government stressed.

The Prime Minister noted that the Government continued the Grain from Ukraine programme initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Recently, 7,600 tonnes of Ukrainian flour arrived in Sudan, and 26,000 tonnes were shipped to Nigeria. Earlier, Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Yemen received food support from Ukraine.

"Even despite a difficult and exhausting war, Ukraine remains one of the guarantors of global food security," said Denys Shmyhal.
