Expert Names the Main Crops Whose Cultivated Areas Have Declined Significantly During the War

Ukraine sowed more corn than last year

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

The favorable weather of the last week allowed us to intensify the sowing campaign, but there is still a significant lag compared to previous years.

A cold and prolonged spring, along with excessive soil waterlogging after winter snow, has led to a forced delay in the sowing campaign for spring crops, especially late ones.

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.
