Over 60 million tonnes of cereal crops are expected in Ukraine this year

The Ukrainian Ministry of Agriculture has not changed its previous forecast after the harvest has begun and continues to expect 60 million tonnes or slightly more cereal production this year, according to the latest information from the ministry.

According to the Ukrainian newspaper Todevnya, the ministry expects that this year, similar crops will be harvested as in 2017, when 61.3 million tons of grain was harvested in Ukraine.

This year, according to the Ukrainian news agency UNIAN, harvesting began earlier in the year in Ukraine on 12 June. (MTI, Kovács Andrea)
