The newly appointed Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Solsky outlined the key priorities of the Ministry for the nearest future.

«Issues that concern everyone today – sowing campaign, as well as not less important task – to make logistics for grain export possible. As there are very large volumes», – he told in the interview to the journalists. 

According to his words, Ukraine has supplies of grain that were intended for export – in monetary equivalent  it is about 7,5 billion US dollars.

At the same time, as the Minister noted, the work of Ukrainian ports is limited due to the war.

«The work of ports has been limited. Earlier, we exported 4-5 million tons a month of agricultural products, grain and processed products through ports. Now  – only a few thousand tons across the western borders. It is very important to maintain this. Obviously, leaving the reserves that the country needs,» - said Mykola Solsky.

After all, according to his words, these funds from export are needed by farmers to pay rent, wages and sowing campaign. «Therefore, this is the main work carried out by the ministry, the Agrarian Committee and on which everyone is focused», -  the minister concluded.

It should be mentioned that Ukraine has the full support of the Ministers of Agrarian Policy of the G7 countries and other international colleagues in increasing the export of Ukrainian agricultural products along new logistics routes.
