Kyiv • UNN
The Minister of Agrarian Policy reported a possible loss of 10-15% of the harvest of late grains and industrial crops. Soybeans were the most affected, but there are no threats to exports, despite lower yields due to low rainfall.
The yield losses of late grains and industrial crops could reach 10-15% due to unfavorable conditions during growth.
This was stated by the Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Vitaliy Koval during a telethon, UNN reports.
We had small losses in early grains, but losses in late grains and industrial crops will be slightly higher. We expect losses of 10%-15%, because in the growth phase of the plant, we have suffered: sunflower, corn, buckwheat and, most of all, soybeans
He emphasized that there are no threats to Ukraine and its exports.
Recall
This year, due to low rainfall, grain and oilseed yields will be slightly lower than in 2023, but this will not affect exports.
