• peas – 156.4 thousand tons of peas from an area of 64.6 thousand hectares, yield 24.2 c/ha.

In terms of the volume of early grain and leguminous crop harvesting, as indicated, farmers from the Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions are currently leading. In particular:

In parallel, the harvesting of winter and spring rapeseed, the first oilseed crop of the new harvest, continues in Ukraine. It has been threshed on an area of 77.0 thousand hectares, with 149.1 thousand tons collected at an average yield of 19.4 c/ha.

Addition

According to preliminary estimates, the total harvest of grain and oilseed crops in 2026 is expected to be at the level of 81–83 million tons. In particular, grain production is forecast at 60–61 million tons, which corresponds to last year's figures. The wheat harvest is expected at the level of 22–23 million tons due to a reduction in sown areas and more restrained yield forecasts. At the same time, corn production may exceed 32 million tons, and barley production may amount to about 5 million tons.
