Ukrainian farmers trying to sow crops this season have faced “more difficult conditions than in 2022,” according to a policy official.
Denys Marchuk, deputy chairman of the Ukrainian Agrarian Council Public Union, laid out the numerous challenges facing the country’s crop sowing campaign — which launched late last month — in a news conference in Kyiv on Thursday.
Short on money: Marchuk highlighted a lack of funding as a key reason why farmers are struggling to produce. Farmers have run out of supplies like mineral fertilizers, plant protection products and seed, and did not receive additional funding for 2023.
Russia left large areas unusable: Some 7 million hectares (more than 27,000 square miles) of farmland in Ukraine can’t be used during the sowing campaign, according to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.
Apart from Russian-occupied territories, which are temporarily off the table, there are still mines that have not been removed across a lot of liberated land in Ukraine.
As CNN has previously reported, the country’s farmers face a stark choice: clear the fields of explosives to prepare for planting season or contemplate another year without income.

Well, you do reap what you sew…..
Huff, you moron, it’s sow!
OT looks like shit just kicked off in the Sudan as we creep closer to WWIII.
Maybe he meant “reek what you sew.”
That’s because Susy sews socks down by the sea shore instead of sowing hop crops up by the beer store.
(It’s classifiable code, I tell you!)
Nothing a few more billion US dollars can’t fix.
Zelenskyy isn’t getting paid to Farm.
He’s running a human Meat Grinder for Joey Shitpants & the Demo Family.
Also:
Do Not Forget that the Dutch Government are making Life very Difficult for their own farmers with Mass Fertilizer Restrictions.
So is Canukistan.
McBug with Fries & a Coke anyone?
Tucker did a few segments on this.
They will be sent to the front lines and won’t live to see the harvest anyway.
Perhaps the farmers should be planting their boots up Zelenskyy’s ass.
