According to the Ministry of Agriculture, 482.7 thousand hectares have been sown to date, which is 125.3 thousand hectares more than a year earlier.
Grain harvest is also higher than last year. "To date, 27.9 million hectares have been threshed, or over 65% of the area under grain and leguminous crops. 100.5 million tons of grain were harvested, which is 12.5% higher than last year. This volume is enough to fully meet the needs of the country," the report says.
