2025 harvest in Ukraine will be no less than last year’s

Ukrainian farmers have already planted 76% of the sown area with grains and legumes, which is more than 4.3 million hectares.

This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal during a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on May 13, the Government Portal reports.

“We expect the 2025 harvest to be no less than last year’s. We will supply the domestic market and have enough resources to supply food to countries where there is a threat of famine,” the Prime Minister said.

He added that 120 million tons of cargo had passed through the Ukrainian sea corridor during its operation, 76 million tons of which were goods of Ukrainian farmers.

“Today, agricultural products account for about half of all Ukrainian exports. In 4 months of 2025, Ukraine exported goods worth more than $13 billion, of which $7.6 billion is the share of farmers and food producers,” the Prime Minister emphasized.

Denys Shmyhal noted that the government is implementing measures to increase the share of processing in agricultural exports: “Our goal is to process more than 50% of the harvest.”
