Ukraine's farmers are losing the will to plant grain
Original: The world needs Ukraine’s grain. Its farmers are running out of reasons to plant
Ukrainian farmers are running out of reasons to plant crops despite global dependence on the country's grain, a CNBC report says. War-related costs, damaged infrastructure, insecure export routes and low prices are squeezing farm incomes, raising the prospect of reduced sowings. Observers warn that fewer plantings could tighten world food supplies and push prices up in import-dependent countries.
Why now: Concern is growing that shrinking Ukrainian plantings will tighten global grain supplies during the war.
