Ukraine: Almost all spring wheat, barley and oats now in the ground

Almost all Ukrainian spring wheat, barley and oats are now in the ground, with 100%, 96% and 97% of intended area planted as of 18th April, respectively, industry sources reported on April 22.

Maize plantings are ahead of the previous seven seasons' progress with 10% planted to 529 thousand ha. Risks still exist in terms of acquiring fertilisers and other inputs, but with the crop in the ground, the weather is likely to be the key factor for Ukrainian spring crops.
