It is projected to involve 200 Th ha in four regions, which will actually be transferred from the risky farming zone to the zone of sustainable farming.

The government will ensure the development of infrastructure, while businesses will be responsible for acquiring irrigation machines and purchasing water for irrigation from the supplying company.

Ukraine’s potential is over 2 Ml ha of irrigated land, UkrAgroConsult reports.
