October 16, 2024 - Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Vitalii Koval met with Director -General of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) Qiu Duanyu. The meeting was held as part of the World Food Day in Italy.
"We are grateful to FAO for the programmes to support the agricultural sector that are already in place in Ukraine. In particular, the grain storage sleeves in the frontline areas. This is very important for our farmers," Vitalii Koval said.
The Minister stressed how important it is to buy products from Ukrainian farmers to help other countries, such as Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon and others. In this way, he said, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations helps many countries at once.
Vitalii Koval noted that one of the main tasks for Ukraine's agricultural sector is to deeply process and export value-added products. This will help create additional jobs in the country and increase revenue from exports of agricultural products.
During the meeting, Vitalii Koval and Qiu Dunyu also discussed the importance of FAO's support for programmes to help Ukrainian women and veterans learn new agricultural professions. This will help their rehabilitation and socialisation.
Qiu Dunyu stressed that Ukraine would receive more support. The parties agreed to analyse new areas of cooperation between the Ministry of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine and FAO.
