Hungry China wants to 'borrow' land from 'bread basket' Ukraine for 50 years — RT Business:
"However, in Kiev the proposal has caught officials by surprise.
Sergey Kasyanov, Chairman of KSG agro, explained the misunderstanding.
"We are not going to sell or transfer a lease or sublease to the Chinese. The project pertained to installing a drip irrigation system in those 3 million hectares in the next year,” Kasyanov told Vesti 24 in a TV interview.
China’s reported ‘land grab’ would include eastern territories near the Dnieper river, Kherson, and Crimea, well-known for its coastal beaches.
Ukraine lifted a ban on foreigners buying land last year.
“I don’t have any information on the subject, unfortunately. I know that Chinese companies occasionally show interest,” Igor Livin, the Chairman of the Association of the Ukrainian-Chinese Cooperation told Vesti 24."
