Why Ukraine benefits from the grain agreement
KSE Vice President Oleg Nivevsky told Channel 24 about this. He assured that the grain agreement is very beneficial for Ukraine.
According to him, the unblocking of grain exports has been discussed since the beginning of the war. And there are two aspects to this.
First of all, this is the fate of the Ukrainian agricultural sector. After all, the survival of farmers depends on the export of grain. If the seaports are blocked, Ukrainian producers did not receive income, Nivevsky explained.
He says that this caused problems with liquidity and further production. Many farmers said they simply wouldn't plant winter crops because they weren't sure if they could get the grain out.
“The other aspect is global food security. We are now living in a period of low global stocks. So each ton of Ukrainian grain is worth a lot,” the expert said.
After all, countries dependent on grain supplies from Ukraine suffer greatly. According to the latest UN estimates, in the worst scenario, if the blocking of ports will continue, tens of millions of people will suffer from starvation. -markup” dir=”ltr”>Therefore, unblocking ports is beneficial to everyone except Russia. Since this situation occurred due to the fact that it is not profitable for the Russians to have a “healthy” economy of Ukraine and a stronger enemy, Nivevsky noted.
After all, unblocking ports means that Ukrainian producers receive higher incomes, the economy will be stronger, so it is not profitable for Russia. “That's why I doubted whether this grain agreement would be implemented,” he added.
The KSE vice-president stressed that since the beginning of Russian aggression against Ukraine, the invaders did not touch the ports.
“They simply hoped that they would capture the entire South and the ports would be theirs. But the Russians saw that they have little strength, and Ukraine “kicked in the teeth”, so they turned on a different tactic so that no one would get these ports and began to destroy them,” he summed up.
