Ukrainian farmers hold steady on winter wheat sowing despite export challenges
Fox News
Ukrainian farmers are anticipated to maintain their winter wheat sowing area for the 2024 harvest, despite facing higher logistics costs due to the ongoing wartime export crisis.
On Monday, the agriculture ministry quoted survey data as showing that farmers could indeed cut the area of winter wheat sowing, while increasing the area of winter rape for 2024 to a record high level.
However, First Deputy Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotskiy told Reuters on Tuesday that the possible reduction of winter wheat may total only 0.1%.
"Wheat not significantly - minus 0.1%" he said. The estimate has not previously been reported.
