Individual farmers and small-scale farmers in Poltava region who cultivate 30–100 hectares are beginning to give up land due to the unprofitability of agricultural production this season.

Hryhorii Shamrytskyi, owner of the Moya Zemlia 2015 farm, told AgroPortal.ua about this.

According to him, the consequences of the difficult season are already evident at the local level. In particular, the farmer himself has already been offered an additional 250 hectares of land to cultivate.


He attributes this situation to the unprofitability of production. This season, prices for major agricultural crops have fallen significantly, while production costs have remained high.

For the Moya Zemlia 2015 farm, the current season has been the most difficult in its 11 years of operation. According to Hryhorii Shamrytskyi, while previously losses from growing one crop could be offset by profits from another, this year all the farm’s main crops have become unprofitable.
