Ukraine’s Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, Vitalii Koval, together with the Head of Sumy Regional State Administration, Oleh Hryhorov, met with representatives of the region’s agribusiness.

The meeting focused on the state of the region’s agro-industrial sector.

“I heard about the challenges faced by Sumy region’s farmers. As a Minister, it’s crucial for me to understand the realities of the regions. Only then can state support programmes be effective. We separately discussed aid for farmers in frontline areas, including insurance against war risks,” Vitalii Koval noted.

The Minister also informed the farmers about state support programmes and encouraged them to take advantage of them.

“I thanked the farmers for their resilience despite everything. Every farmer is vital for the recovery and development of rural areas and for ensuring the country’s food security,” Vitalii Koval emphasised.
