“Ukraine can and will become a guarantor of food security in the Emirates,” Zelenskiy told WAM, the Emirates News Agency

“Ukraine can and will become a guarantor of food security in the Emirates,” Zelenskiy told WAM, the Emirates News Agency, shortly after arrival on Saturday. “We are among the world leaders in the export of wheat, corn and barley.” With a population of 10 million, the Emirates has an economy three times bigger than Ukraine’s, but imports 85% of its food — $2 billion worth last year. Last year, Ukraine exported $252 million worth of food to the UAE. Zelenskiy noted that Ukraine’s pavilion at the World Expo that opens in Dubai in October will be shaped like a 15-meter high sheaf of wheat. He said: “The yellow color on our flag symbolizes the wheat field and readiness to contribute to world food security.”
