The Ukrainian Grain Association (UGA) estimates the future harvest at 66 million tons of grains and oilseeds, of which Ukraine is likely to be able to export 44 million tons. Corn is the most controversial crop in the forecasts.

“The biggest difference we face in the forecasts is corn production, because no one knows the real area for this crop. But our expectations are quite low,” said Mykola Gorbachev, president of the Ukrainian Grain Association.

He emphasized that such a harvest is a return of Ukrainian agriculture to the past for 10 years. To recover to the level of 2021, farmers will need 5-6 seasons.
