Having lost the status of a high-tech country And eventually collapse the industry, the authorities, says the Economist, is trying to reorient Ukraine in an agrarian and raw material appendage.

He stressed that farmers " pulls the plug ", such rules are created that most are leaving agriculture. And this against the background of the fact that Ukrainian officials are convinced that Ukraine will feed the world And go out of the decline due to the development of agro-industrial complex of the country.

"according to the information received, the state statistics service of Ukraine, in January-may of 2015 the volume index of agricultural production has decreased in comparison with the corresponding period of 2014 to 5, 4% And amounted to 94, 6% ", - noted Economist.

The situation in animal husbandry, He stresses, such as disastrous as in the agricultural sector.

The only question is how long the Ukrainians will have to swallow it all
