About 18% of Ukraine’s agricultural land remains under occupation
Currently, about 15-18% of agricultural land remains under temporary occupation, but about 20 million hectares of land are currently used for growing grains and oilseeds, and more than 13 million hectares of them will be spring crops sown in the spring. Taras Vysotskyi, First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, said this during the telethon.
“Unfortunately, about 15-18% of agricultural land remains under temporary occupation. We can’t really say that all the potential that is available within the administrative boundaries of Ukraine can be used. However, about 20 million hectares of land are used for growing grains and oilseeds, and more than 13 million hectares of them are spring crops that are sown in the spring. Now, these days, these weeks,” Vysotsky said.
He noted that Ukrainian farmers are showing resilience and continue to work.
“The weather allows us to catch up with the sowing, so as of today, these areas are even larger than announced,” Vysotsky said.
