During martial law in Ukraine, the export of buckwheat, rye and oats is limited.
This decision was made in order to avoid a shortage of these products in the country.
Taras Vysotsky, First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, spoke about this on the air of a nationwide telethon.
According to him, in order to ensure food security in wartime conditions, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy reviews the balances of one or another product on a monthly basis.
“For those positions where we see a critical situation, we will limit exports. For example, exports of buckwheat, rye, and oats, which are important for the baking industry, are now limited,” Vysotsky said.
The government also monitors the situation with products whose export is subject to licensing. The authorities promise not to regulate the export of those goods that have accumulated significant balances in Ukraine.
“We are monitoring the situation in those positions that are subject to export licensing, such as wheat, sugar. In order to understand how much of them are exported and not to let them export more than there is a surplus. Regarding sunflower oil or corn, which we have enough, regulations No. The ministry actually updates the balance sheets on a monthly basis and submits issues of this or that regulation to the government for consideration, so that products are physically available, primarily for consumption by Ukrainians,” the deputy minister explained.
