Although Ukraine attracted about $836 million in foreign agricultural investment last year, the real growth driver was Ukrainian investment, Maxim Martynyuk, acting Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food writes in the Mirror of the Week. Referring to Ukraine’s bumper grain crop of 70 million tons last year, he says this harvest is worth $15 billion, or 12% of the nation’s GDP or almost 80% of the nation’s foreign exchange reserves. Asserting that food accounts for 40% of Ukraine’s exports, he says: “This is the stability of the national currency.”
