Ukrainian winter crop harvest looming, farmers may not transport grain adding to uncertainty

Ukrainian farmers are still uncertain if they’ll be able to transport grain, which could add more volatility to global markets.

Roman Grynyshyn is the founder of a Ukrainian non-profit that provides resources to producers and says harvest is less than 3 months away. “The world food security is worsening because we have this commodity, but no one is coming. We cannot either harvest or export this.  This is a really big problem.”

He tells Brownfield there are several logistical challenges like close ports and unusable roads.
