Sowing completed: Ukraine sets an anti-record for sugar beet area

Sowing pace has accelerated, but is far from previous years

Prolonged sowing campaign in Ukraine threatens to reduce yields of late crops

Agricultural producers in Zakarpattia region have completed the sowing of early cereal crops and are continuing an active spring campaign to plant vegetables, potatoes and late crops.

The production cost of major crops will increase by 14-17% this year, including wheat by 14%, corn by 17%, and sunflower by 16%.

Odesa-based holding Tecom Agro Group plans to grow oil flax for the first time. With high yields and properly adjusted technology, flax can compete with sunflower. Moreover, the volume of flax processing is growing all the time, so this is a promising area.
