The Agrarian Policy and Food Ministry of Ukraine has said that part of Ukraine's crop of fodder potatoes could be used for the production of biofuel.
"We are studying the possibility of using … part [of the crop] for [the production of] biofuel," Ukrainian Agrarian Policy and Food Minister Mykola Prysiazhniuk told Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov during a visit to the Institute of Potato Growing of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv region on April 27.
