This statement was made by Dmytro Solomchuk, a member of the Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, according to the announcement from the Ukrainian Parliament.
“Ukraine needs to build about 140-150 more vegetable storehouses. Currently, many producers store their products in not entirely prepared warehouses or store them underground, and such conditions negatively affect the quality of the products. Consequently, in April, some goods will have to be imported, as domestic ones will lose their quality,” said the parliamentarian.
He emphasized that Ukraine has all the possibilities to fully provide itself with agricultural products. This year, the Ministry of Economy will provide more grants for processing and equipment for this purpose. Our country should produce its own agricultural products, as it is a sign of food independence.
