on the market. We expect that we will sell the harvest at a good
price... so that farmers were not robbed once again, so that they got a
good price for their grain and could lay a stable base for harvests in
the following years," said Mykola Azarov.

reserve are aimed at.

of funds and that this year "the money will not dissolve in the air, as

objects”.
