b"materials from companies, and from all over the world, is an extremely impor-tant process for business and science. Therefore, such genebanks and com-panies share their materials, as it takes titanic efforts to create a new variety or hybrid. They do not appear on their own. Without renewal, varieties or hybrids will not be able to compete with new varieties in the market, will not be able to withstand new weather or climate challenges, and will not be able to grow in ever-changing soils and environments.Ultimately, it also impacts the food security. After all, such research pro-vides insight into what seeds can grow, for example, in Kazakhstan and in South Africa. Thus, Ukrainian breeders can develop the very varieties, which would grow well in those countries. It will not be possible without a scientific base and understanding of the characteristics of the germplasm.IMPACT ON THE ENTIRE CHAINAnother very important point is a chain reaction in all sectors of the economy.

In such cases it would be very hard to recover, it's almost equivalent to a stop. That's why companies (Ukrainian and their parent companies) tend to keep going, so they would not stop completely. Thus, if a problem with breeding appears, seed companies will immediately have troubles, which, in turn, will lead to the reduction of sown areas and lower yields.Nowadays, all sectors of the economy are interconnected. Even foreigners are starting to feel it. That's why, the destruc-tion of genebanks and the Russians illegal moving of grains from Ukraine, endangers not only Ukrainian agricul-tural companies, but also food security on a global scale. And this is another strong argument why Western countries shouldSiuzana Grygorenko Destroyed experiments at the Yuriev Plant consolidate their aid to Ukraine. Production Institute.
