[000:00:00;00] all in other grain crops more than a year ago, including spring wheat, peas and buckwheat, farmers in 14 regions have already completed the harvest of crops , the ministry of agricultural policy informs about this, the area of ​​land sown by the agricultural sector provides domestic needs and the possibility of export, said the prime minister of ukraine denismagal, he called among the problems of agriculture , in particular, mine danger, identifying demining as one of the key priorities for this year, it fully satisfies the internal need of our market and leaves a significant space for export and, accordingly, support of the economy, another challenge for farmers and for the whole country is mine danger, demining has been identified as one of our key priorities for recovery for this year, a special responsible body has been created , we are attracting funds, equipment and technology, the process has progressed faster now it was possible to survey already 110,000 hectares and discover more than 600,000

explosive objects , we will talk about it and not only today with denys marchuk , the deputy head of the all-ukrainian agrarian congratulations, mr. denys. thank you for visiting. congratulations. the prime minister named demining and the problem of demining, to be more precise, one of the main ones faced by farmers this year, this year, this year, and what else. these are the nuances of sowing in war conditions. you can name what were the most important problems . - this is one of the most painful questions, because if we take the example of kharkiv, kherson , and mykolaiv regions, which were deoccupied back in the fall, but in fact they could not carry out their economic activities. the same areas that are strewn with mines, they are very large, it is very difficult for an agrarian to cope with such a task on his own. and actually the indicator of the spring sowing company in the kherson region demonstrated this because there and more than 400,000 hectares of land, about

50 of which were used for the sowing company that is, there is still a lot of work to be done before demining, but the most critical issue is financing, because without funds we see the limitation of the product manufacturers' ability to use all components for implementation sowing works, and i mean the purchase of the necessary elements in the words about what is the purchase of mineral fertilizers, this is the purchase of seeds, this is the preparation of the procurement of fuel and lubricant materials , this is the purchase of parts for agricultural machinery. - these are also very large areas which, unfortunately, so far we do not have the opportunity to reach them to achieve the goal of deoccupation, and in the process, thanks to the armed forces, we will soon start our

works on issues of agrarian and land policy, mr. ivan. we congratulate you. good afternoon. in fact, you have already mentioned some of what you had to face this year during the year-long sowing of ukrainian agrarians , ukrainian farmers, what among the key challenges would you name and are all of them at this moment we managed to overcome, of course not, but about where are we going at what stage , well, i want to say that mr. denys vin outlined everything very correctly, in fact, all the problems that are faced today spring field work, he enumerated them, here, in principle, there is nothing to add to this situation, i also wanted to say that well , farmers are still faced with the problem that last year and in the spring , they purchased all

resources quite expensively for the sowing company, it is mineral fertilizers, it is means of protection, including fuel. therefore, accordingly, it will form a rather expensive cost price, and today agrarians are faced with the fact that oak in ukraine domestic prices are quite low, and we now, we can see somewhere in the world that prices have started to move up there, but the domestic ukrainian price is actually somewhere in place, because it is what it is. this is a danger with the completion of the grain corridor about the fact that there are talks that the corridor with it is not will be continued. in this way, the export of earth and so on. it directly affects the fact that such is the speculative mood inside. so , in fact, some of the traders

are actually trying to buy as cheap as possible grain from the agrarians. in this case, they enough seriously seriously they are losing and this is one of the biggest problems facing agrarians because the harvest has already started odesa oblast mykolaiv oblast they have already started harvesting so this is already a new crop what will be in ukraine today and what will need to be exported p denise and here the prime minister said that there will be no deficit in ukraine , they say, for internal needs , what we have sown will be enough for us. however, if we talk about specific crops , i don't know if we will see an increase in prices there this year. for example there is buckwheat or there is corn or there is bread because of the price increase there, i don’t know the production of wheat there , but can you tell our viewers about it, well , our strategic reserve of buckwheat will be more than sufficient, this is the actual indicator and the increase in the sown area in this season, more than 110,000 have been sown ha of land in the future, which should give a potential

of about 160,000 tons of food grain and buckwheat , which we will consume at the pre-war level, our consumption level was about 120-130, that is , you can see that the stock is quite normal, they made conclusions and when the prices started in the fall rise later due to the lack of a new crop, the eyes were not shot, then when the harvest came but they did not go down , in principle it is quite stable, this situation will be observed in principle for other crops, including sugar , the sown areas have increased a-a i am already silent about the fact that the number of niche crops that are not aimed at the domestic market is really increasing , the same peas and actually, if there is demand within the country, farmers use, sow, people consume. another issue is the price position are not formed by commodity producers who grow only on their homesteads or in the fields, the price position is influenced by the inflation factor, the logistics of prices for fuel and lubricants, fluctuations in the currency markets, if

we see that from july 1, if the vat rates on fuel and lubricants and excise taxes are returned to 20 % from 7% excise tax to 7%. and vat-20%. in fact, this will automatically raise the price in the region of 5-7 uah per liter of gasoline and diesel, respectively , the manufacturers who will supply these products will be forced to lay it in the basis for this will also be the situation with the prices of electricity carriers, we know that prices for households have risen in our country, but we are already actively talking about the fact that it will also rise for legal entities, well, accordingly, these factors will be laid mainly in the final products, that is, third-party factors not related to the sowing yes , yes, dmytro solomchuk, a member of the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on agrarian and land policy, is joining us now, mr. dmytro, we welcome you, you are in the fields as always us

it is very nice when you communicate with us , you are literally in the field at this time. they have actually already started, what is the situation there, where exactly are you? and what are the farmers saying there, too, because the sowing is over, they have already started like them , well, i am on the basis of the victory harvest charitable fund, i am not disappointed because in the last week we have been shipping uh, 31 from harvesters, suffering the regions of kherson oblast, mykolaiv oblast, sumy oblast, zaporizhzhia, because they have already started somewhere today, tomorrow, the equipment will enter the field in the harvesters, whether it has been destroyed or the occupiers have exposed it and unfortunately, people

do not have the funds to hire commercial equipment there for storage and even if there were funds, no one wants to go there to collect , there is no victory thanks to golubaffet, he sends harvesters there so that they can collect an aggressive harvest and give them hope that life continues and they can work continue to sow winter crops and together we will win together with all regions and all ukrainians. in any case, you say that you are sending equipment and helping to send. i understand that grain a-a to and including the kherson region. i heard it right. in particular, by the agrarians, by those farmers and actually by the people of kherson who suffered from the undermining of the hydroelectric power station, they suspect that , in particular, the majority of those affected by

the undermining of the hydroelectric power station, unfortunately, this year they will no longer take the expression, namely, by the farms that suffered because of the occupation which was due to the fact that the projectiles flew in. yesterday, today, there were several owners of them, everything was completely destroyed . there is nothing at all. it’s not like that. there is no harvester, no room for storage. in general, everything is put there from the ground, even. yesterday, there were headlights. i didn’t i want to name the farm for the year tomos built a house, well, a new, small but comfortable one, we didn’t even have time to live in the house. and then i showed a photo, video. well , there is nothing at all, and they sowed something there, a little , where is it possible, so, at least somehow, uh, start

start to recover, but help is needed. as it is, with seed drills and harvesters, the relatively valuable equipment there costs 100-200-300-400 thousand dollars, it is clear that they do not have these funds, they cannot buy it today, time and the fund is secured. we would very much ask you to keep your own this topic is on my mind right now, because we will definitely continue to ask you about it, what is it, what do the farmers there need now, and probably they need everything from pumps to diesel to everything in the world right now but first, actually about the consequences of the russian blow-up of the kakhova hydroelectric power plant let's talk about a blow to global food security this is how the head of the office of the president of ukraine , andriy yarmak, commented on the russian blow-up of the kakhova hydroelectric power station, says that this disaster will affect the irrigation system in the south of the country, emphasizes that the russians need famine in the countries of the world, in particular, in

africa, according to yarmak the destruction of the kakhovka hpp is the largest man-made man-made disaster in the world in recent decades , the head of the president's office noted that it killing ecology will also have a negative impact on the lives of thousands of people in the coming years, millions of tons of ukrainian crops may be lost due to flooding as a result of the destruction of the kakhova hpp, said first deputy minister of agrarian policy and food taras vysotskyi, the lands need a full agro-ecological assessment of the condition of the soil after the water recedes in most cases , it will be necessary to apply special methods of soil restoration on the lands that suffered as a result of the destruction of the kakhova hpp , two main blocks of production were grown in one among them are vegetable and melon crops, the second block is grain and oil crops , soybean, corn, sunflower, wheat, without a source of water supply, it is impossible to talk about

the cultivation of vegetable products, the cultivation of grain and oil crops will take place according to an extensive model with low yield, mr. denys. usually , we understand that anything, any military actions in particular. they have consequences if we talk about the consequences of blowing up the kakhovka hpp as a terrorist act committed by the occupiers, to what extent it can affect global food security the world, how much our exports will decrease, which probably depends on the country that is used to the supply of certain volumes, well, in fact, these statements come not only from ukraine, there have already been official statements from the united nations, which monitors food security issues in the world, including that there are no famine processes especially in those countries that need the ukrainian increase in other crops from other parts of the world and if we are talking in the context of possible potential exports that we will not be able to carry out even after the deoccupation. we are talking about three to four million tons of grain and oil crops that traditionally could be supplied from this region to foreign markets

due to this man-made disaster. due to this terrorist act, the world will actually be short of supplies. and this has already been reflected in the prices of grain literally. e.e. grain there by 5-6% and in principle the price position is still holding this is a vivid indicator of the extent to which ukraine plays a very large, large and important role in the strategic food security throughout the region and will not receive it because of the fact that the russians so arbitrarily blew up the kakhovka hydroelectric power station, this is a significant blow to ukraine and global food security. in today's conditions, we understand when there is not enough grain, when there is a certain percentage of people in the world today who do not have enough to eat of course, whether it is 3 million tons or 4 million

tons, it actually has a quite significant effect on global food security, that is why it is important. well, accordingly, it is also very important for our country because the country does not receive about 2 billion or two or three billion dollars of the annual revenue that it received from the sale of this product. therefore , it will affect world food security in one way or another. thank you, mr. dmytro, you know exactly what happened. the situation of the local farmers , the water has already started to recede , if i am not mistaken, 5 settlements are still flooded.

even in this way, we can already. so what do the farmers there say? i just can't imagine when even you were washed away just by the vegetable garden that you used to feed your family . when several tens of souls were counting on you, it is probably even more terrible. i have been crying all my life, men are even crying , well, the situations there are very scary, it is only there and in other regions, and it was destroyed there , well, imagine if in the kherson region there was there under 450,000 hectares under trees above there zaporizhzhia region more than 200 weeks of hectares and pedagogical dnipropetrovsk region and all the systems that need to be restored, first of all, i wanted to earn

there some deep wells to pump inland water so that there would be no opportunity to use the external external cimilya, dollars go. this is also not money and it is time because money is not always the most important and it takes more than one year to restore it all, it also applies to other regions. that’s why i was also from chuguev, kharkiv region . there were 500 hectares per person and more than 200 hectares under vegetables, which were weighed by nastya at 120 tons per a hectare for this increasingly small storage of refrigerators to store tens of thousands of tons, well, this is a capital investment such that a person rebuilt an entire village, the russians launched 16 phosphorus bombs, everything burned to the ground, nothing was left at all 16 phosphorus bombs on a farm well, this is a person who moved all his life created a huge enterprise, hundreds of people worked today , sowed at least some

sunflowers from the youth, in order to feel at least some money, to pay something to people, because the situation is catastrophic, so farmers it is necessary to support them in those, first of all, in those regions, at least it is difficult for everyone , but here it is no longer about the economy, it is about something else, so that people can somehow move around and restore what was created in 20 lyceums, mr. denysa, and in the fear of those who suffered from the russians undermining the hydroelectric power plant, what need do they have now, because we know about the civilian population there, most often now it is the pumps that can be used to pump water from the basements where it was left from the yard, this is of course humanitarian humanitarian some things the people drowned all the farmers what do they need, first of all, if the volunteers hear us, they are ready to go there with help, then what can it be for mr.

dmytro, a certain question, dmytro, yes, if it is possible , all the more so for the farmers. well, where are the farmers of the flooded regions, in any case, wait for the flooded ones until the water comes down with the pumps ? the volumes that are in the fields, well, it is unrealistic to pump them out and where to pump them out well, first of all, it is me and what is needed is who has equipment that can dig deep wells there is a big problem with water, that is, go and make wells for several hundred meters of wells pumps and that in those regions where people still live and work, what water was there because there is a catastrophic lack of fresh water there, and if there was not enough, it would not be possible to bring it in such a quantity to ensure everything, mr.

ivan, what is the state doing now ways that the verkhovna rada is developing, in particular. in order to support farmers, what the cabinet of ministers is likely to do, you can tell us about the main directions or programs that are currently in demand. the support of the state side is the first thing, it means the taxes that the farmers paid should be released today, because no one has repealed the legislation, and accordingly , well, as they say, the taxes are calculated absolutely there, it flooded, it didn't flood, so it is necessary, it is necessary we have to cancel bill 84.01, which we considered in the committee. so , we actually sent it, it was accepted in the committee , we actually sent it to

the verkhovna rada for consideration, so i think that in the near future we will actually accept it in this way, somewhere we will be able to support those farmers who suffered today, not only there in the kherson region, they are prepared , but in general, where on the line today , this is our second collision. today i want to say that probably the most farmers expect from us from the state , this is financial assistance because many of them have not paid their wages today, many of them have taken loans that the banks directly need to repay and they need to somehow ensure that they are postponed, that is, many of these there are financial things that, let's say, agrarians, someone, someone directly took the farmers there, some er-e means for conducting economic activities, that is, some certain

resource, fertilizer, seeds, and so on, and now they will be approached by these creditors who, let's say, provided them and will well, let's talk about the return , they need to be given some kind of financial support now so that they can, let's say, pay for these losses that actually occurred, that is , the state has to step in, this seems to me to be the most important thing. so, accordingly, loans banking also needs to be postponed for a certain period of time, give them some appropriate vacation there for two to three years so that they can get away from that stress and let's say, somehow, in some way , let's say 100,100 out of that difficult situation which they are located today because there are only pumps. we are not pumping water from a large field today, we will not do anything. that is, this open field will have

water and then it will be necessary to make an agro-ecological assessment, so what needs to be done further with those fields, what further, will it be possible to grow there for the next year or will it take, let's say, two years , let's say somewhere to do certain procedures with the land in order to bring it into compliance, because there the water brought a lot of different damage, it brought with with her, she washed away all kinds of rubbish, wood and everything that was there along the way. so, in addition to that, she brought a large amount of silt and fodder, and accordingly, in each field, this amount was acquired. from in fact, with such territories, which are so clogged and muddy, we understand that everything that was planned there

was washed away, how to do with such areas in the future, is it somehow recultivated, it is possible to leave it for a certain time calm down, is it possible to clean from these, first of all, from that sediment and silt and garbage ada- and then and then how will you include the thesis and the first deputy vysotskyi and what ivan adamovych or dmytro said that it is necessary to conduct an agrochemical analysis, that is, to understand how polluted they are he also said about those things it is adama that the water carried away, but the silt leaves behind another very important negative, that it contains a very large amount of metals that will penetrate the soil and the earth, and accordingly, if you look at it, it seems that the earth has been cleaned, but in fact it is already polluted therefore, without such in-depth scientific research, let's say there in laboratory conditions now, uh, well, you know, the sky is there to say with your finger. what could we do, so when we

buy, we will go in and start working only after a general conclusion will be possible to characterize the land. perhaps there will be preserved ones that will be unusable there for several years and it will be necessary to really apply appropriate mineral fertilizers there and other means in order to improve it. perhaps another part that will be suitable will need to be cleared, but this is all only after the deoccupation of our general finding analysis situation that it can actually take years unequivocally and in this context the people's deputies rightly said that we need to think about a system of such pragmatic support for these populations points because one thing is that we are buying. another issue is to bring life back there, to bring people back there. these are really large, extensive agrarian regions, e.e., regions in the khersonsky zaporizhzhya region, and accordingly , in order to start working there, you need to start from something . crediting or deferment of loan payments or tax payments and

certain subventions, subsidies that could be used partly possibly from the state budget and partly probably to a greater extent understanding that the state does not have enough funds, these go to fight for the war against the aggressor to involve our e-e partners, international organizations that donated in the context of assistance to ukrainian commodity traders, because the food security of education depends on it, no matter how we twist it. we are not talking only about assistance to ukraine in this context. foreign markets, and social security in the region, including the european one, depends on it , because if grain is not delivered on time, for example, from asia to africa, we will see the next waves of migration that will go will go to wealthier countries, actually we can talk about how to interest investors and what arguments they should give so that they, uh, this is also about reconstruction, right, after all, it is about restoration, about the reconstruction of ukraine, including that they join to a common cause

and helped helped in the future , including our agrarians and our farmers to our agrarian business, mr. dmytro, so how can we interest potential investors of our foreign partners, how can we motivate them to invest in the reconstruction of the restoration, including the agricultural sector, the most important thing is to move honestly so that there is no corruption, not in the regions, not in the otg. for gas for the allocation of land plots for everything else do not look at them as a reliable cow look at them as people who help ukraine and it is clear that they all want and write this in principle applies to both internal and external investors in our country

there are also a lot of domestic investors who are ready to invest in the ussr's insurance for military risks, there will be insurance and full coverage of fabulous in military cases, even if there will be 5% in the fairy tale. there or how many internal and external investors will start to invest the resource itself, it is possible to act so that the foreign investor or partners do come to ukraine and help us in our agricultural sector . well, so that it would also be profitable for them, because we understand that this is probably about the insurance of risks with which they they can to face now and in the future, well, first of all, i would like to say that we talk a lot , a lot about the fact that our country

today, it is a raw material appendage for the world, then i would say that most likely we need to create a program for the development of the country's added value, that is, the raw materials that we produce today in the field, how to process them. so the government actually has to propose a program for the development of the agricultural sector for the next 10 years . in order for an investor to come, it has to to understand where, in what industry and under what conditions should he finance, well, accordingly, security issues, those for which colleagues spoke now , this is actually what we, er, need to understand , that's what every er, whether an internal er investor or an external investor, he wants to understand when investing the funds that he has, well, in any situation, these funds will not disappear from him, that these funds will be reliably protected, then who

will guarantee the state for these, for sure. this is the basis. therefore, the first is a program, and the second is protection, investor protection, protection funds and how in this world is the protection of private property because any funds come in, this is a measure, if there are private or public investors, they all want to have the appropriate guarantees, that's why we are talking about the judicial reform , it seems to me that it should be completed first because, well, without these things today, there will be absolutely absolutely nothing, they will invest, but they will come at such a small level that no one will experience rapid growth. that is, we need these things a little bit we agree that it is very important to approach them in a different way in order to later collect compensation and reparations from the russian federation after the victory of ukraine , to document the crime, in particular, we can talk about the fact that the occupiers are stealing, in particular, yaryna , ukrainian and not for the first year, by the russian
