Text 9 Ukrainian Agriculture
I. Read and translate the text.
The agro-industrial complex has always been one of the most important sectors of the Ukrainian economy.
While wheat is the primary crop, barley, corn, rye, sugar beet and tobacco are also harvested in the country. Sunflower seeds, flax and potatoes are produced in large quantities
Ninety-five per cent of Ukrainian land is rich in plain black soil, with 14.3 per cent (8.6 million hectares) covered by forests.
A critical problem faced by the Ukrainian agriculture sector is product preservation. The capacity of Ukraine in packaging material and storage facilities is below 30 per cent.
The agricultural processing sector is regarded to be the first priority in the Ukrainian economy.
Growing losses during harvesting, storage, and processing as well as inadequate transportation have shown the need for better and more efficient storage – transportation facilities.
According to government projections, a decrease in production losses and an improvement in food processing technologies could increase the consumption of meat, milk, vegetables and fruit.
The major grain production region includes Odessa, Dnipropetros’k, Kharkiv, Vinnitsa, Poltava, Kherson and Mykolayiv provinces. Significant returns may be obtained if investment is made in the following areas:
application of high-quality seeds and chemicals;
use of modern grain cultivation technologies;
employment of modern harvesting machinery.
The major sugar producing areas are: Poltava, Cherkassy, Khmil’nyts’ky, Vinnytsya and Kyiv provinces. Perspective directions for investment include:
high-quality seeds;
use of advanced sugar cultivation and harvesting technologies;
re-equipment of sugar processing plants.
