They discussed new agricultural programs in Ukraine supported by the FAO. UNN writes about this with reference to the Ministry of Agriculture.
We are grateful to FAO for the agricultural sector support programs already in place in Ukraine. In particular, the grain storage sleeves in the frontline areas. This is very important for our farmers
The minister emphasized the importance of purchasing products from domestic farmers to help countries such as Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon and others. According to him, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) supports several countries at once.
