MPH Products met a Ukrainian customer at the Agritechnica trade fair in Germany last year and the customer became interested in the MPH Ditch Plough. The customer’s large arable areas suffer from ponding during heavy rains, which can be comparable in area to small lakes. The MPH Ditch Plough provides a quick solution for draining flooded areas.
We believe that the first MPH Ditch Plough delivered will lead to additional deliveries. The need for use is big, because Ukrainian farms are a hundred times larger than elsewhere in Europe. Even in the current state of fragmentation, Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe in terms of area. More than half of the country’s area is agricultural land.
From the perspective of foreign investors, the nutrient-rich black soil found in temperate steppes is Ukraine’s most attractive resource.
It has been studied that the effects of floods in Ukraine can be very extensive. Floodwaters that spread to fields contaminate the soil. Flooding causes damage to human health and food production lasting for decades, even hundreds of years.
