Last week, a field of 25 hectares of wheat caught fire as a result of shelling, and this week the occupiers burned another 50 hectares of wheat in Beryslav district. But our farmers are still working and harvesting. Currently, more than 16 thousand tons of grain and legumes have been harvested from 7 thousand hectares of land. In addition, over 3 thousand tons of rapeseed were harvested from 1.5 thousand hectares,

He noted that there is not a single surviving hangar or granary left in the right-bank Kherson region, but farmers have received almost a hundred modular granaries that are installed in almost every farm, which will help save almost 120 thousand tons of crops.
Prokudin also said that the 5-7-9 loan program has been launched in Kherson region. "21 Farmers have already taken advantage of it. The total amount of funding is about 180 million hryvnias. Also, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food has agreed to pay subsidies of UAH 8 thousand per hectare of cultivated land to more than 200 farmers who own up to 120 hectares. These are small farmers, and UAH 60 million has already been approved for these farmers," Prokudin added.
The head of the RMA also noted that Kherson region is a leader in demining.
This is a titanic and colossal work of sappers who are working around the clock to make our region safer. We have already inspected and cleared more than 46% of the right bank, which is almost 316 thousand hectares of territory, from Russian explosives. Almost 190 thousand dangerous items have been destroyed,
