Ukraine has harvested 57.6 million tons of grain and 17.3 million tons of oilseeds despite war and harsh weather. Total grain output may reach 60 million tons after corn completion. The country now ranks second in grain production in the EU, driven by strong corn, wheat and sunflower yields and near-complete harvesting.
The Ministry of Economy announced that despite the ongoing war and tough weather conditions Ukrainian farmers harvested 57.6 million tons of grain and 17.3 million tons of oilseeds. After the final corn harvest, the total grain harvest might reach 60 million tons.
