Ukraine: Ukraine’s farmers harvest 1.04 mln tonnes of barley as of July 9

Ukraine’s leading grain regions have started the 2021 harvest, threshing 1.37 million tonnes of grain as of July 9, the agriculture ministry said on July 9.

The volume includes 1.04 million tonnes of barley and 325,600 tonnes of wheat, the ministry said.

The barley yield averaged 3.93 tonnes per hectare and 3.15 tonnes per hectare for wheat.

Favourable weather could help Ukraine to harvest about 76 million tonnes of grain this year, up from 65 million tonnes in 2020, the ministry has said.

Analyst APK-Inform this week said that adverse weather conditions in key grain regions could lead to significant losses in Ukraine’s barley and wheat harvests.
