In October, large-scale demining of agricultural fields was started in the Mykolaiv region on the order of the state. This is the first humanitarian demining tender conducted through the Prozorro system. According to the results of the competition, the company «Ukrainian demining services» (UDS) won, which by the end of the year has to clear 86 hectares of land in the Shevchenkiv community on the border with the Kherson region. Journalists of NikVesti spoke with a farmer whose fields are demined as part of this project and representatives of the operating company about the importance of demining for the agricultural sector and the opportunities that arise due to state support.
How farmers overcome the challenges of mined fields
The full-scale war left a significant mark on the agriculture of Ukraine, especially on the lands in the front-line regions. One of the first farmers who received support from the state for demining was Viktor Chubyk, director of the Kedr farm. The company has 17 land plots in the Mykolaiv region with a total area of more than 100 hectares, which need to be cleared of explosive objects.
