KYIV, Sept 28 – During the war, direct and indirect losses of the agricultural sector reached $40.2 billion, but these are not final figures, since Ukrainian territories are still under temporary occupation, it is difficult to fully calculate the damage, head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy Oleksandr Haidu has said.

"Confirmed direct damage to the agricultural industry exceeded $8.7 billion. We are talking about the destruction of infrastructure, economic facilities, supply chains, damage and theft by the enemy of grain and agricultural equipment. And there are also indirect losses - at least $30.5 billion. And this, unfortunately, is not the final figure. When we accurately calculate the damage caused as a result of the enemy's explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, the amount will be much greater," the MP said on Wednesday at the conference "18 months of war. Damage to agricultural sector and prospects for industry recovery."
