“According to the pessimistic forecast, it is possible to sow 70%. If the territories of Chernihiv and Sumy regions, which have huge agricultural areas, can be demined in the coming weeks, the sown area may increase to 80%.”
Vysotskyi added that even if the volume of crops was reduced, Ukraine would be able to provide itself with food.
“If you look at the fact that we plan to sow 70%, then 30-40% of them will be for domestic consumption. And there will also be a balance for exports,” said the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food.
