Ukraine expects 45 million tons of grain and leguminous crops in 2023, Prime Minister Denis Shmygal said.
“Ukraine is having its second sowing campaign under martial law. We are helping our agrarians to carry it out successfully again. According to preliminary estimates, we expect 45 million tons of grain and leguminous crops. The wheat harvest is expected to be 16.6 million tons,” he said at a government meeting on Friday.
According to the prime minister, with such a harvest, the domestic consumption of Ukrainians is about 5 million tons.
“That is, like last year, Ukraine will be fully provided with grain and food,” Shmygal stressed.
