Harvesting during the war: How many grains have already been ground in Ukraine (infographics)

Agrarians harves almost 6,531 hectares. Wheat, barley and peas were threshed. In Ukraine, at the end of August, 28 million 769 thousand tons of grain have already been ground. The leader in this indicator is the Odesa region, the press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food reports. According to the department, in the regions it is ground: at the same time thickened the areas of grain in the Zaporozhye region - 96%.

Early cereals were harvested from an area of ​​6 531 thousand hectares, and the yield was 44 quintals per hectare (c/ha): we recall that with the beginning of the start of a full -scale invasion of Russia, a larger share of Ukrainian grain began to be exported through the land border with Poland. However, the product, which was to go through the neighboring country in transit, settled in local markets, which led local farmers to losses.

Therefore, the heads of governments of Poland and Romania have appealed to the European Commission to introduce a mechanism for tracking exports of Ukrainian grain to minimize illegal trade in their territory. In May 2023, the European Commission launched a ban on the import of Ukrainian wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds to Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Poland and Bulgaria. The restrictions are expected to be valid until September 15.
