Volume of Ukrainian harvest this year may be half as much, – Zelensky

This year there is a threat that the volume of the Ukrainian harvest will be half as much as usual. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky wrote about this on Twitter.

“This year’s Ukrainian harvest is in danger of being half as much. Our main goal is to prevent a global food crisis caused by the Russian invasion,” he stated. According to Zelensky, Kyiv is finding alternative ways to deliver grain.

Also remind, on July 22, Ukraine, Turkey, and the UN signed an agreement on the export of grain. The document provides for the restoration of the safe export of Ukrainian agricultural goods through the Black Sea from three ports: Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdenny.

According to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, unblocking seaports is a multibillion-dollar issue for the Ukrainian economy.
