Ukraine’s new Cabinet of Ministers may not include a Ministry of Agricultural Policy and Food. A source of Interfax-Ukraine with knowledge of the situation confirmed this information.
According to the source, the ministry’s liquidation was discussed for about a month.
The European Business Association (EBA) stated its concern about the possibility of liquidating the ministry and attaching parts of it to other ministries or agencies, as did specialized agricultural associations, such as the Ukrainian Grain Association, the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club, the Ukrainian Agrarian Forum, the Agrarian Union of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation and others.
