As Russia's war against Ukraine drags on, a recent presentation by Antonina Broyaka, an associate professor in the business and economics faculty of Ukraine's Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, to U.S. agriculture interests detailed the struggles Ukraine is having in keeping up planting and agricultural exports. Russia has virtually destroyed one port, Mariupol, while Russian naval activities have closed off Ukraine's other Black Sea ports. All Ukrainian grain exports now have to travel by rail through the country's western border. Efforts are being made to double rail grain exports, according to Broyaka. The lack of fertilizer exports from both Ukraine and Russia is causing difficulties for farmers around the world as well. |
