Ukraine could lose several million tons of crops due to flooding caused by the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in the south of the country, the Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine said today.
“Without a source of water, it is impossible to grow vegetables,” the ministry said in a statement.
According to the ministry, the destruction of the dam could lead to the flooding of hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland in southern Ukraine.
The Ministry of Agriculture reported that vegetables, melons, grains and oilseeds are the main products grown in the affected areas. Ukraine is one of the world’s leading countries in the cultivation and export of grains and oilseeds.
