ECONOMY MINISTRY WORKS ON DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

One of the key priorities for the development of the Ukrainian economy is to support agriculture through the development of irrigation systems, which will be dealt with by the Ministry of Economy from next year, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.
“Completion of land reform, support for agriculture through the development of irrigation systems. This is the key project, and the Ministry of Economy will be responsible for it from next year, because this project is more about the economy, about increasing the GDP of our country,” he said during the UkraineInvest “MAKE in UA” forum in Kyiv.
As reported, last week Deputy Minister of Economy Denys Kudin at a conference in Kyiv called irrigation of land in southern Ukraine as one of the main infrastructure projects of the government. The first pilot project in this direction will start in 2022. It will cover 200 hectares of land in four southern regions of the country.
A similar opinion was expressed by Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Roman Leschenko. According to him, the priority for his department in 2022 will be animal husbandry, gardening and land reclamation.
The restoration of the reclamation industry has become a national project until 2024. The Ministry of Agrarian Policy planned in 2021 to launch a pilot project to restore irrigation systems in Odesa, Kherson, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhia regions.

MAKSYM SHKIL: ROAD INDUSTRY PASSES PEAK OF PERSONNEL PROBLEMS

There is indeed a personnel problem in the road industry in Ukraine, but it has already passed its peak, Maksym Shkil, the founder of the Autostrada group of companies, has said. “The first factor is that people who have been abroad have returned, because after all, this is their home, their families are here. And for them, if there are decent conditions in Ukraine, it is better to be at home, to work here. The second factor is that wages have really increased, significantly. And those people who were in other professions, but want to develop, today re-profiled and became road workers. But there is indeed a personnel problem, it is acute, and it cannot be solved until tomorrow. It needs a strategic approach primarily at the state level,” he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
“The Autostrada group of companies now has more than 5,000 employees. I believe that the road industry has passed the peak of personnel problems,” he said.
Talking about the wages of road workers, the founder of the group said that in the past few years they have doubled.
“During the season we have a wage of UAH 40,000, maybe more. It depends on qualifications, performance, the number of hours worked,” he added.
