Ukraine has purchased almost all disposable crop storage systems currently available on the world market.
As CFTS writes with reference to Ports of Ukraine, this was announced by the minister of agrarian policy and food Mykola Solskyi.
According to him, for the storage of agricultural crops in the current season, one-time and mobile granaries with a total capacity of up to 20 million tons will be needed, and thanks to the public-private partnership, it has already been possible to contract the necessary equipment. However, Ukraine's purchases of alternative granaries depleted reserves of them on the world market.
At the same time, most of the temporary storage facilities were purchased privately by Ukrainian agribusiness.
"Judging by our monitoring of the market and communication with its participants, 15-19 million tons of single-use storage was contracted by the business, and with the help of international funds and through the UN FAO, a tender was purchased and held this month at the initiative of the Ministry of food and agriculture for about 6 million tons of one-time storage", Solsky said.
Previously, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine canceled the need to return funds received by farmers within the framework of the program of state support for the construction of elevators, if these assets were destroyed as a result of Russian Federation’s military aggression in Ukraine.
