"On average, 90% of the crop is harvested; it's evident that we can summarize the results," Vysotskyi stated.
Crop Yields and Comparisons
According to Vysotskyi, the wheat harvest remained consistent with the previous year, totaling more than 22 million tons. Other notable yields include:
- Barley and Rapeseed: Approximately 6 million tons

Increase in Agricultural Exports
Since the beginning of 2024, Ukraine's export of agricultural products has increased by more than 25%. The primary reason for this rise is the restoration of sea transportation, which accounts for 89% of exports.
