The expected yield of oilseeds is 18 mln tons
As of October 11, 14 mln tons of oilseed crops were harvested in Ukraine: 2.1 mln tons of rapeseed, 2.3 mln tons of soybeans and 9.5 mln tons of sunflower. The total gross yield is expected at the level of 18 mln tons, which is 5% lower than the last year. The reductions in the fee are mainly due to decreased yields of sunflower and soybeans, which is lower than last year by 2.7 and 3.3 centner/ha, respectively. Rains that occurred in early October in the country could lead to the decreased soybean yield, as the delay in harvesting results in the cracking of the culture pods.
