Ukraine as of June 29 had threshed 313,900 tonnes of grain and leguminous crops from 95,000 hectares.

According to the press service of the Agricultural Policy and Food Ministry, average yield is 33 centners per ha.

Some 28,000 tonnes of winter wheat were threshed on 10,200 ha with the yield of 27.5 centners per ha.

Some 275,900 tonnes of winter barley were threshed on 80,800 ha with the yield of 34.2 centners per ha and 6,700 tonnes of spring barley on 2,800 ha with the yield of 24 centners per ha.

Around 3,200 tonnes of peas were harvested from 1,300 ha with the yield of 25.6 centners per ha.

“Weather conditions in the past weeks are unfavorable. This would result in a slight reduction of grain harvest compared with a record-breaking harvest seen last year. However, this reduction is not dramatic and it would not affect the country’s food security,” First Deputy Agricultural Policy and Food Minister Maksym Martyniuk said.

The ministry expects that the new harvest wheat would be of good quality. This would result in boosting flour exports.
