The production acreage in Ukraine in the 2025 season will be identical to last year’s, plus 270,000 hectares of demined land, said First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Taras Vysotsky.
“Overall, the production areas will be the same as last year. An additional 270,000 hectares have been demined. But in terms of our total sowing area of 20 million hectares, this is 1%. So, for basic crops, to which we will add sugar beets and vegetables, farmers will have 20 million hectares. This confirms that we are working in all possible areas,” he said at a meeting of the Trend&Hedge Club on Wednesday.
According to Vysotsky, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food expects to harvest 21.2 million tons of wheat in 2025, compared to 22 million tons a year ago, which is 5% less. The ministry estimates wheat exports at 15-16 million tons.
According to him, the barley harvest will amount to approximately 4.5 million tons, which is 10% less than in 2024, with exports at 2.2-2.3 million tons.
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy does not expect any problems with buckwheat and promises that the domestic market will be supplied and the surplus exported.
The ministry is not yet ready to make final forecasts for grain corn, as the active growing season is still underway. However, departmental analysts adhere to a conservative forecast of 26 million tons, which is also at least 5% less than last season.
“We see grain at around 54.5-53.5 million tons.
This is plus/minus 5%,” Vysotsky emphasized.
He added that the rapeseed harvest in the 2025 season is expected to be 3 million tons, compared to 5.7 million tons in 2024, soybeans – 5.7 million tons, compared to 6.6 million tons, and sunflowers – 20 million tons.
Vysotsky noted that the greatest doubts about harvest volumes currently concern sunflower, as the crop is suffering from drought in the south of the country, and these regions may lose up to 6% of their harvest, which could lead to a reduction in the gross harvest to 15 million tons or less.
In total, the oilseed harvest in Ukraine in 2025 will amount to 20.5 million tons, the first deputy minister of agricultural policy concluded.
The Sukha Balka mine (Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk region), part of Alexander Yaroslavsky’s DCH group, has commissioned a new unit at the Yuvileina mine with total iron ore reserves of 35,600 tons.
According to a report in the DCH Steel corporate newspaper on Thursday, the new 116-122 unit from the Golovnyi deposit on the eighth sublevel at a depth of 1,420 meters at the Yuvileina mine was put into operation on July 9.
“The quality of ore raw materials in this production unit is high, with an average iron content of 58.53%. The block’s reserves are planned to be developed in two months,” said Deputy Chief Engineer Vasyl Lubynets, quoted by the publication.
It is also reported that miners have prepared modern self-propelled equipment for further development of the Druzhba deposit at a new horizon of -1227 m at the Frunze mine. To develop the new blocks, it is planned to use sets of self-propelled equipment: drilling machines, loaders, and dump trucks, which the company purchased for the development of new horizons.
For example, a multi-ton DRUK-20 dump truck was recently prepared, lowered into the mine, and assembled at the -1227 m horizon. This equipment has a load capacity of 20 tons and is designed for operation in narrow tunnels.
Two dump trucks will be used in production. The second one is scheduled to be lowered into the mine in August.
“The dump truck will be used in cutting, tunneling, preparing blocks for extraction, and transporting raw materials to the surface. The dump truck will transport the extracted ore from a depth of 1,227 m to a depth of 1,193 m to the unloading point for further processing,” explained Konstantin Gumenok, head of the production process organization and support department.
This method of transportation will increase the efficiency of production processes and allow ore to be brought to the surface without deepening the bunker complex. Similar technology has already gained popularity in global mining operations, but it will be used for the first time at the Kryvyi Rih deposit.
The Sukha Balka mine is one of the leading mining companies in Ukraine. It extracts iron ore underground. The mine includes the Yuvileina and Frunze mines.
The DCH Group acquired the mine from Evraz in May 2017.
