like it, leave the link to your family and friends, and leave a comment after the program. i rewatch the comments and answer those that were on the topic. conversations today, the news is that the company that provides drainage and water supply services is asking to increase the water tariff by 33%. with such a proposal they turned to the commission that takes care of this, they say that the president of the association of water utilities of ukraine, dmytro novytskyi, says that the price increase can take place as early as july 1. according to his data, the losses of the water supply industry last year amounted to almost 4.5 billion uah, and before that , there was also an increase switched to electricity, gas tariffs still remain at the previous level, let's talk about

more large-scale topics on international topics with pavel martyshev, an expert for analysts of the agricultural center of the kyiv school of economics, mr. pavel. good morning. today we have a topic that is not typical for this program. i suspect that many people were involved. and why did you become interested in the issues of economic interaction between ukraine and africa ? why did you choose this region? usually economists pay little attention to it. the truth and in fact there is very little reliable information on the african market, that is why they did not understand what the format of cooperation between ukraine and africa should be, should it be humanitarian grain or commercial grain, should it be supplied to different

countries or to one country, and there are many questions , the answers to which are quite difficult because we have a lot of problems, we have weak institutions, and recently a large batch of humanitarian food was stolen in ethiopia and this food was sold to someone and it did not reach the population, and how there are a lot of issues to deal with, uh, we need to research, we need to understand that the population of africa will grow and that the restoration of the agricultural sector of ukraine is tied to saving africans from hunger, uh, moreover, i would say that african countries today are playing uh an important political role, we saw that african leaders travel around the world and try to propose

some peace plans in order to stop the aggressive war of russia against ukraine, but what kind of peace plan is it for our benefit or for the benefit of the russians? well, it is easy to guess who is now activates all such peaceful initiatives well, before that, i will remind you that our ministry of foreign affairs announced that it will open 10 embassies in different african countries and thus demonstrated that it will deal with this continent separately and specifically. this is the political weight that african countries are acquiring, it somehow connected with their economic development is it so simple here that their voices are involved in international structures such as the un

? no yes we are they are falling further and further behind developed countries yes you correctly said about 10 representatives 10 embassies are already in african countries and another 10 are planned to open and we even found a connection between uh, respectively embassies between the presence of ambassadors and the volume of trade of agrarian ukraine and african countries, it is necessary to develop it, it is necessary both at the national level and at the branch level . i am talking about agricultural attachés, which are extremely important in order to export food from ukraine to africa of such a political agenda here, uh, it does not apply to food in any way, this is geopolitics, it is the pushing of the russian narrative, and uh, how about an agrarian

economist, i want to say that the governments of many american countries are not interested in feeding the population, they are interested in the population was uh, hungry, poor and voted for their dictators , so there is no need to build any illusions about the fact that everyone in africa wants uh, to uh, their population to be fed, the situation is much more complicated well, what you described is actually similar to the russian situation, where the russian hinterland lives in poverty and votes for putin, will support this war of aggression, but if we return to the issue of food, you say that the african population is really starving, can you tell me first, i understand that africa is heterogeneous, there are more prosperous

countries are less prosperous countries, is it possible to structure these in some way, unfortunately, i don’t know. hmm, maybe there is such a division , geopolitical, intra-african. and secondly, is the situation with hunger in africa changing, as far as i remember, my parents and when we were young, we went to help the poor in africa . and we are still discussing this topic, why is the problem not solved, is there really a famine there or is it just a political tool? basically, we are talking about the fact that every fifth african goes to bed hungry, that is, it is malnourishment, it is malnutrition because of a whole generation of children who cannot learn normally at school, let's tell them about impromptu lack of

calories if we are talking about distribution geographically, north and west and south africa. the situation is moderate. in general, there is also hunger, but it is not very strong. central and east africa is the most difficult situation there, in general, in terms of the number of starving people - it is from 250 to 300 million people , they do not receive enough food . calories and the share of the starving population is decreasing in percentage terms, that is, now it is less than 20 , somewhere 15-20%. but i will interrupt you, er, we are seeing your research on the screens right now, and it is on the website of the kyiv school of economics , you can go and read everything we are about

let's talk in more detail with graphs, charts, links to sources, and er, in ukrainian and english, i understand, in languages, you can also get all this, and here we see just the map er, regarding the spread of hunger in the 2019s and twenty-first years, er, where are the darker colors except for violet-violet, the worst is there, that’s central africa. as you said , the situation there is the worst. well, there is simply no data for purple, that is, even for africa. and with data problems, yes, extremely high data problems here. so, i’m sorry, i interrupted we talked about the dynamic head in africa how the situation has changed over time, the number of starving people is plus or minus stable, but on the other hand, the share of starving people is decreasing due to the fact that the demographic boom in africa should

be taken into account that the security of african countries is also decreasing earlier there 10-15 years ago, some african countries exported food , now they do not export. accordingly, we are talking about the fact that hunger can accelerate and it can accelerate due to many factors , it is due to economic factors and macroeconomic this is a procession - this is inflation and so on. and because of climatic factors, because climate change affects the yield of the main crops and, er , african farmers, they simply do not catch up with these climate changes with technology . if we talk about the geopolitical choice of african countries, we know that some of them support quite openly to russia, and some hesitate, some take a right-ukrainian

position, here are the countries that support russia , is there any dependence on the economic condition, are they poorer and hungrier than other countries who choose a pro-western, well, such a view of the world is quite an interesting question. and in fact, the answer here is very simple . russia's partner countries are starving. there are only two examples . the first example is the central african republic there. by the way, the wagner pvk operates there, and there the percentage of starving people is higher among of african countries, and there after the congo, after the congo, there are 40 to 60% of starving people, and the second example is zimbabwe, where about half of the starving people out of a population of 15 million , and we see that there the president of zimbabwe spoke in russia, he was very supportive

russia it seems to me that in principle , in order to overcome hunger, it would be better to choose more civilized partners than russia, and then the problem with hunger will somehow decrease, we see that politics and economics are interconnected, even geopolitics and economics are interconnected and sometimes it even depends on this whether your child will eat enough and whether he will have prospects in the world, as is happening now in africa, and at the same time, russia accuses us of propagandism through all its channels. that ukraine does not supply food in africa it is through ukraine. it seems that there is such a situation that ukraine sends grain for commercial sale to europe and the africans get nothing. how true are these statements of the russians? and this is such an interesting narrative and there is also manipulation of facts and

concealment of some facts. well, let's begin since ukraine really sends most of its grain to europe and asia, but the grain market is global, if ukraine sends a lot of grain to europe, it means that europe sends more grain to africa, let's say at the beginning of the last season, france was very active in exporting its own wheat to algeria and west africa, where they have historical post-collegial ties. such ties are quite strong . this was possible due to the fact that ukrainian grain was going to europe. this is the first part of the story. the second part of the story is that part of the ukrainian grain still goes to africa, and not only to north africa , but also to sub-sykharan africa, but mainly it is humanitarian grain that is supplied through the food programs of the united nations and through the

the program, the initiative of the game from ukraine, which is part of this program, half a million tons of wheat was initially delivered to a grain agreement in a poor country of sub -sykharian africa, as for russia, in fact, russia does not supply grain to sub-sykharian africa, we also conducted research on our website about that where does russia send its own wheat, it's turkey, it's egypt , it's iran, it's from celzhir from sub-sigar africa, there seems to be only the congo and that's basically everything. in addition, er , russia does not er participate in humanitarian programs, that is, free humanitarian grain is not supplied there, and russia has also not canceled the export duty on its own wheat, which is quite high, and this african

delegation that arrived in russia could ask whether they want to cancel the export duty and make grain cheaper for african countries while that russia does not want , it wants to earn money, to receive additional revenues in the budget due to the famine in africa. moreover, russia constantly interferes with the work of the grain corridor and prevents ukraine from exporting grain. we know this will be a question. just because of one question, because i want to say to ask about the global market, you mentioned that there is a global match on the grain market, what is the current situation with prices and food security? we remember that a year ago there were extremely high prices and this was a topic for their organization nations even, and then somehow the prices got better well, in the winter at least they said that the prices are already falling , what are the dynamics now, yes, the last year, uh , starting from last summer, the prices decreased and

there was such optimism in the market, but i also said that at the beginning of spring that in fact the food crisis did not end, the food crisis was masked, masked by a large global harvest, which was essentially accidental , that is, climate risks have greatly decreased in many regions. in the eu and the usa, climate risks are now returning and this is pushing prices down the throat, and if we look at the futures of the chakal exchange or the paris exchange, they did not actively grow during the last two or three weeks, and this is connected, firstly, with climate risks, secondly, with increased inflationary risks

to the food economy, with uncertainty regarding the grain corridor, because we will soon have a harvest of winter crops, and it is not clear how it will get to foreign markets because of that that russia is blocking the grain agreement, here we are again back to the grain agreement, there is no way to get anywhere from it, this is a global factor, we know that the agreement is in effect until july 16. well, what exists now is the fact that russia sometimes blocks the passage of e-e ships through the bosphorus strait have their checks in the warehouse, but uh, still, the grain agreement is now in effect. and what will happen on july 16, i read literally before uh, our with you, with you , that the ministry of foreign affairs is almost 99%, uh, i think that there will not be an extension of the agreement by russia. is this so? isn't it possible that this is some kind of fake news? it's just that for now

, the situation is that it's so , so simple. it's that russia demands to pump ammonia through the ammonia pipeline that was blown up, that is, in principles there she puts forward such interesting conditions, and here we also see a counteroffensive, and this will push russia more in order to e-e leave the grain agreement . plus-minus of the month, yes, absolutely, yes, plus, before that, on july 16, the rates regarding the extension or non-extension of the grain

agreement will be much higher, but they were in march, because in march we did not have many stocks of the old one, i am impressed there by 15 million t and on july 16, there will already be a collection company for winter crops, and this means that we will need ports more than there at the beginning of spring, and here there is really a risk that russia will either withdraw from the e-e grain agreement completely, or it will again be such rather slow inspections on the bosphorus, one or two ships a day, and this will cause significant losses to our economy and increase the threat of hunger in the world. i hope that this is understood by the organization from them, the nation and in turkey, which claimed to be a mediator, for a very long time solved this issue and in fact supported

ukrainian race, although in words, of course, they were ours and yours, mr. pavlyk. thank you, we are running out of time for conversation . pavlo martyshev explained to us how the grain agreement on famine in africa works. we talked about the fact that the political choice of the leaders of african countries is related to the economic condition on the contrary, the economic condition is related to their political choice, here the question is how does it work , what is the first, what is the second , and so on. today everything andriy yanitskyi, the host of the economic program on the espresso tv channel, was with you, we will see you on monday live at 8:10 after the news in the morning, together we will win a very difficult story of a search

with a happy ending, we are very happy to announce that the five-year-old antonchyk chaban , whom we were looking for i found the boy almost 9 months ago, everything is fine, and of course the most important thing is that he is already safe with his father , i definitely want to say a big thank you to each of you for your concern and help in the search. let me remind you that antonchyk disappeared in cherkasy region, he lived with his grandmother and on september 5, 22, the connection with them was cut off, since then there was no news from them in the house where they lived, they were not found, under what circumstances they disappeared, it was not clear at all joined the search and posted information about the boy on all available media resources. and yet in the fall, under the announcement about the search for anton, a woman wrote a message that she hoped that the boy

would be found. on tuesday, september 27, i saw a grandmother with her son mykola in the city shpola in the aurora store near the privatbank on soborna street at approximately 12:20 p.m., although the information was definitely encouraging to find antonchik, then , unfortunately, the search continued, and fortunately, even after 9 long months, the boy was found and the family was finally reunited, so thanks to you for not remaining indifferent to this situation , trying to help, in particular, spreading the announcement about the search for anton on your pages in social networks. this story once again confirms that even in very difficult situations, together with joint efforts, there is always a chance to find a missing child. not so long ago, thanks to the fact that relatives immediately reported the disappearance of the boy, it was possible to quickly find the story of

17-year-old vlad bodnar. vlad left home and did not return to the search, the police immediately joined the search child tracing services and concerned citizens. and in a few days , vlad managed to find the boy from zhytomyr oblast. it should be noted that this is not the first time that vlad has disappeared before, he has already left home and traveled through nearby settlements, this time he reached kyiv, it is during adolescence that children most often resort to running away from home, there are various reasons, for example , teenagers can run away if they are unable to resolve conflicts with parents this can happen due to disagreements about lifestyle rules or other issues, also mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and trauma often lead to teenagers

feel oppressed and depressed and this prompts them to leave home in search of relief, in addition, children aged 14-17 may run away because they seek independence and freedom from parental control, and what is most frightening is that it is not uncommon for a child to run away from home due to violence and extreme unfortunately, very often such stories remain silent, although in these situations it is necessary to sound the alarm immediately, so if you know about a specific case of violence against a child, for example, beatings , sexual violence, if a child begs or a teenager is engaged in prostitution, do not remain indifferent and immediately report it to the police or report it to our website stopkrayem.ua without leaving your home, you can do it even anonymously and we will do everything possible to stop this crime and please give a few minutes of your attention come on the website of the child tracing service and
