To the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade to prepare and publish
each year before 1st September of the next period report on food security state in
Ukraine.
On the official website of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of
Ukraine there is no report on food security in Ukraine for any period. Regarding food
security published only the balance of demand and supply of meat and meat products,
sugar, milk and dairy products, vegetable oils refined on 01.04.2015, the estimated
balance of supply and demand of grain in 2014/2015 marketing year by all categories
of farms.
In fact the indicators monitoring of food security exercise, mostly academics.
Information process support as the system does not form any of the central authorities
of Ukraine. Most of the food security indicators, approved by the Methodology for
Determining the Key Indicators of Food Security, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers
of Ukraine "Some Issues of Food Security" [9], available on the website of the State
Statistics Service of Ukraine, but they are in different information sources, not
structured and not are required interpretation to the public.
CONCLUSION
Entering to the era of the SDG, we still have significant gaps in data and
methodological difficulties which will be overcome in order to assess the food security
and nutrition effectively and on time, and with the possibility of comparing data across
the countries.
