cooking oils and other food items to the rest of the world, the booth producing food and getting it to the rest of the world. is becoming increasingly difficult for ukraine. some farmers fear it will soon be impossible. ah, farmer said he. vann york helps with the birth of a calf. if an animal that will need to be fed despite the war, this farm west of keep is still operational. and to ensure the supply of food farmers are now allowed to continue working on their farms and don't have to fight in the war. but one of the main problems for farmers is that they can't export most of their harvest as they usually do. that means no money coming in to sewing new crops. well, the numbers look bad is almost 500 tons of green behind me. we have a lot of problems as he poured serenely to export,

our grain are closed. no transactions are taking place in new york. we're not selling any rain, but we still have to invest to keep working with men there. and we have a great lack of liquidity that the machine will slow and say, exports can only leave the country by truck or rail. now that's much more expensive and will probably be impossible soon. it's going to hit poorer countries in north africa and the middle east, especially hard food prices are already skyrocketing worldwide. crowman flashed in as the director general of ukrainian aggregate, the agra of business club association. he joins us from central ukraine. thank you so much for being here. so could you just give us a sense of what the situation is like on the ground right now for farmers in ukraine? hello. so for farmers of course, it's a difficult time as well, because especially for those who are on the occupied territories right now,

or where the actual battles are going on. they are not able to do the job properly to do the filled works and also to take care of animals out of. busy goals, goals, and pigs and chickens, you know, so every animal should get some feed, got at least twice a day. yeah. and milton, milton, cows, if you do not milk out there is, are, of those health issues and animals, sir, will surely relate or just die. you know, so that's a very big issue for the lives of pharmacy in those areas which are occupied for those will still on the, in the western part and, and central part of your brain. they are busy with day and providing food for full army and but also for the teachers which are in blockade which need the food.

so they give for pre some part or they stock which they have or production which day which they have so mailed for free and other stuff. you know this one born to another boy and that they are busy was re basil machinery and was military machinery as well. you probably also already seen some videos and where you bring your farmers was directors just how they are military machinery to they are our houses. yeah. and also many of them are they to weapons in their arms and went to defend the country. so that's basically the situation most the farmers, they hope to still see that the they are fields and roughly we assess that at least 70 percent of the area,

which usually it was seed in the spring will be seated these this year. i would take yeah, well just given that ukraine is such a major export of food to the rest of the world. what are the risks you're? we've heard some from the you went from the you warning, global famine. do you think that is a major concern? yes, that's a big concern because last year, last year we had to harvest of more than $80000000.00 tons of grains and out of debt $8000000.00. we intended to support 60000000 tons. so we are pretty big player on the global trade of grains where our number 44 we'd to number 4 for core and for bodily number 3 in the world compared to other countries. and so that's basically like 50 percent of the global trade.

now our seaports blocked fully so rather than shooting into mentioned vessels, there will be 3 or 4 mentioned specials for in mentioned in our keyboard. and we can export only why a railway and trucks through the western water. so but we limit that was that roots and we can export like 15 to 20 percent of what was exported before as months as before and they did the stop of the war. we usually exported $5000000.00 tons per months. i was a possibility to export. why right away? we have like 600000 pounds. probably 1000000 don't but not book at the moment and issue for the global drain, i think for sure. and of course our farmers because they have stops and can sell

the grain to, to buy the inputs, which they need to, to have, like seats and so on and fast. and unfortunately we're out of time. so we're gonna have to leave that there. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. ukraine's agricultural loser, also being salt here in europe, one of the most popular cooking oil, sunflower oil has all but disappeared from supermarket shelves. it's the other oil crisis, not soaring. brent crude prices, but no cooking oil on supermarket shelves. this grabbing sunflower oil because they fear this kind of oil won't reach spain. it's like the fear felt oval toilet paper during the covered pandemic table. and now with oil. this is something similar level of essay. they're not necessarily enough, but it's not similar. cooking oil prices are up in spain,
