Ukraine Turmoil Could Lead To Food Crisis In Country Ukraine is at risk of seeing a food crisis emerge from its political turmoil, the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club said, warning that the countrys difficult situation may cost it 11m tonnes in grains production, according to media reports. The industry group warned that 20% of the land allocated to spring grain and oilseed plantings may go unseeded this year, equivalent to 11.1m tonnes of grains production, which was 63m tonnes last year. The Club also warned over the difficulty growers are having in obtaining for planting this year, amid the countrys unsettled economic and political situation. Over the weekend, Crimea voted to secede from Ukraine and join Russia, a ballot which Western powers have refused to recognise. Powered by Commodity Insights
