Qatar, the world’s largest natural gas exporter, is laying the groundwork for a strong food for gas trade relationship with Ukraine, a major food exporter, according to a the newly formed Qatar-Ukraine Business Forum. With the largest gas storage reservoirs in Eastern Europe, about 20 billion cubic meters, Ukraine is studying importing Qatari LNG gas through Adria LNG, a floating terminal planned for offshore Croatia. On the Qatari end, $275 million is being invested in Hamad Port on the Persian Gulf to build food warehouses sufficient to store enough food for Qatar’s 2.7 million people for two years. Eighteen months ago, Saudi Arabia started a regional boycott of Qatar.
