Support for Farmers in Harvest Storage
To ensure effective storage of the harvested grain, 615 modular grain storage units have been provided to small and medium-sized farms in seven frontline regions. This initiative was implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with the support of the governments of Canada and Japan. Since 2022, farmers in Ukraine have received over 37,000 grain sleeves, 105 sets of loading and unloading equipment, and a total of 859 modular grain storage units.
This support has allowed farmers to store over 8 million tons of grain.
Plans for Further Assistance
In 2026, the FAO, together with partners, plans to provide support to approximately 100 more farms. This will enhance farmers’ capacity for crop storage and strengthen food security in Ukraine.
