Our state has all the possibilities to create the Reserve Food Fund under the auspices of the UN the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food stated, Mykola Azarov Official Website reports.
The Government under the leadership of Mykola Azarov has managed not only to ensure food security within the country, but also to consolidate the status of a reliable trading partner. The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food reports that European countries are actively buying Ukrainian crops and five years ago these countries questioned their quality. In 2012 the European Union acquired 7.7 million tons of grain, becoming the largest importer of Ukrainian bread.
According to forecasts of the Ministry in the near future an annual domestic production of grain will reach 80 million tons, 35 million of which will be used for domestic needs, and the rest for export. Therefore, the creation of the Reserve Fund in Ukraine under the World programme and on continuing basis will allow us to respond to food challenges in the world.
It is worth noting that our country already has a positive experience of cooperation with the World Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), it is working with exporters in the Global trade network in order to increase the participation of Ukrainian companies in the UNs humanitarian programmes. In addition, Ukraine will continue to strongly support the initiative of the World Food Programme aimed at combating poverty and hunger in the world, increasing its capacity for food production.
