Ukraine ambassador encourages Irish farm links
Mr Bazylevskyi said he met the leadership of the Irish Farmers’ Association recently, and discussed new possibilities for co-operation in agriculture. “The Ukraine has a large area with good soil that can be cultivated. Many Irish farmers are interested in growing grain crops in the Ukraine, and importation into Ireland,” Mr Bazylevskyi said.
The Ukraine has almost 30% of the world’s high-yielding chernozem soil, and is the world’s fifth-largest grain exporter, and rated third for the exportation of wheat.
