Ukraine is set to harvest a record 40 million tons of corn in 2021, with plans to process it into fuel, energy, and feed products like starch, glucose, and amino acids, as part of a strategy towards energy independence. The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food will exempt the corn industry from many taxes and provide preferential investment terms. This is part of a larger strategy to increase the value of the country's agricultural output by tens of billions of dollars.
