Vysotskyi: it will take 2-3 years to restore the agricultural sector of Ukraine to the pre-war level

Since the agricultural sector of Ukraine is multi-sectoral, it will take more than one year to restore its indicators to the pre-war period.

Taras Vysotskyi, the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, stated this on the air of the national marathon “Yedyni Novyny”.

“Everything will depend on the direction of the agricultural sector. Of course, the fastest recovery cycle is in crop production, although demining is a rather complex procedure. And also in poultry farming. But if you put all the factors together, then, unfortunately, the full recovery of our agricultural sector will take approximately 2-3 years, depending on the type of production. This is if we talk about pre-war indicators,” said the first deputy minister.

Vysotskyi also emphasized that, despite the full-scale aggression of russia, Ukrainian farmers in all corners of Ukraine, where possible, continued field work.

“The collected information on the sown areas for 2023 shows that we all believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and this faith helps farmers now prepare to sow the maximum possible areas already this spring,” he emphasized.
