Switzerland to Fund Ukrainian Grain Storage, Support Organic Farming Sector
Bern will allocate CHF 3 million for temporary grain storage under an FAO project and CHF 6 million over three years to develop Ukraine's organic farming sector.
Switzerland will provide funding to support Ukraine's grain storage capacity and its organic farming sector, according to Ukrinform.
The Swiss government will allocate 3 million Swiss francs for temporary grain storage under a project run by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the report said. An additional 6 million Swiss francs will be provided over the next three years to develop Ukraine's organic agricultural sector.
The funding is intended to help address logistical challenges facing Ukraine's agricultural sector, which has faced disruption tied to the ongoing war. Grain storage has been a particular point of strain, given Ukraine's role as a major global grain exporter.
Further details on the implementation timeline for the funding or the specific programs it will support were not included in the initial report.
