Sunflower harvest may exceed 15M tonnes this year
The Ukrainian Agribusiness Club Association (UCAB) forecasts that this year's sunflower harvest will reach 15.1 million tonnes, which is 15% more than last year, according to the association's press service.
"In the 2020/21 marketing year, the harvest of sunflowers is expected at the level of 15.1 million tonnes. This figure is 15% higher than last year and will almost reach the maximum output volume recorded in 2019," the report says.
At the same time, the growth is expected due to higher (by 15%) yield compared to last year's figures, as well as due to an increase in sown areas (by 2%).
