The area sown to winter grains in Ukraine could fall by 30% to 60% in 2023 without state assistance and an increase in grain exports, UABC agriculture union director Roman Slastyon said. “There are great hopes that the government... will find an opportunity to finance the sowing campaign. If this is not done now, then we will have serious problems ... without these programs and without increasing exports, it is expected that winter crops can be unsown on 30% to 60% of the area,” he said.
Planting of winter rapeseed has already begun and sowing of winter wheat in Ukraine is expected to get started in two to three weeks.
