KYIV (Reuters) – Ukraine’s agricultural exports are likely to rise to around 4 million tonnes in August from 3 million tonnes in July thanks to a U.N-brokered agreement that unblocked Ukrainian sea ports, a deputy chair of Ukrainian Agrarian Council said on Monday.
Denys Marchuk, whose organisation represents agricultural producers, told a televised briefing that despite new export opportunities, Ukrainian farmers would still face a shortage of funds and a third of them would refuse the 2022/23 winter grain sowing which is due to start later this month.
