The sunflower seeds harvest is currently at 208.1 thsd tons (3%) with an average yield of 1.35 tons/ha, a significant increase from 0.86 tons/ha last week. As expected, the advance of the harvest to the northern and western regions, where yields are traditionally higher than in the south of the country, positively affected the overall figure, reflecting higher results on the national average.

Farmers in Vinnytsia and Cherkasy Oblasts have started harvesting sugar beets, collecting 0.04 mln tons from 0.001 mln ha.
