The figures show a gradual start of harvesting in Ukraine and positive yield dynamics. Yields in many regions are higher than last year. However, it is important to note that this is only the beginning of the harvest season and the final results will be influenced by many factors, including weather conditions and agricultural practices. Agrarians do an important job of providing the country with an abundance of agricultural products.
