There will be no grain in Ukraine

Ukraine may have no grain next year. Agrarians say it is unprofitable to grow it.

One ton is sold at 455 hryvnians ($92) now, which is 300 hryvnias ($60) less than last year. 70% of grain farms are unprofitable because of high prices for diesel oil and obsolete equipment. Other farms are on the verge of bankruptcy, as reported by Association of farmers and private land owners.

Two thirds of peasants refuse to work the land.
