Quote: "The main crops sown are wheat, barley, peas, and oats. Sowing is still going on, so I can't say what the final figure will be because it depends on the weather," Solomchuk said.
The most planted areas are in Odesa Oblast, Solomchuk said, while the least are in liberated territories or territories that have been severely impacted by Russian aggression. At the same time, a significant portion of the previously contaminated areas is now ready for safe farming.
Background:
- Since August, the Navy of Ukrainian Armed Forces has established a sea corridor that has allowed for the export of nearly 33.8 million tonnes of cargo, exceeding the performance indicators set by the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
- Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers passed a resolution expanding the areas of state support for farmers registered in the State Agrarian Register, as well as increasing the amount of payments.
