“Our domestic consumption of fodder and milling wheat is about 7.5-8 million tonnes per year. To date, we have collected more than twice as much as our annual need.

Vysotskyi noted that wheat harvesting in Ukraine has already been completed. In general, farmers threshed approximately 19.2 million tonnes of wheat with an average yield of over 40 centners per hectare.
Also, harvesting of winter rapeseed has already been completed, of which 3.1 million tonnes have already been threshed.
