Commercial seed imports into Ukraine are being held up by problems in the new tax code. However Ukraine’s Minister of Agriculture thinks that the government seed reserve and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences seed institutes have enough grain seed on hand to compensate these shortages. The question is do farmers want to seed grain when the price is half of worls prices while domestic oilseed prices are close to world prices.
