The gross collection of Buckwheat in Ukraine in 2022, thanks to higher grain yields, can reach 150 thousand tons. Taras Vysotsky, the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Agricultural Policy of Ukraine said this during a press conference.
According to him, to reporting date of buckwheat about 35 thousand tons are milked. Only 40 to XNUMX% of the sown areas are threshed.
This suggests that this year we can count on about 140 thousand tons or even 150 thousand tons of buckwheat production, since the yield of the crop has increased now. Domestic consumption is 100-110 thousand tons, unfortunately considering the emigration and decline in consumers.

He stressed that this year, for the first time in 10 years, buckwheat production in Ukraine will be almost one and a half times higher than domestic consumption. This will even form a small strategic stock.
The Deputy Minister added that in the last 5 years Ukraine has increased 30-40% Grains imported, and this year the landowners have responded to requests from consumers and the state and have considerably increased areas under the crop.
