At the 'Agro Innovations 2024' conference, Ihor Brykovets, the head of Eridon's grain and technical crops department, highlighted several issues within the Ukrainian agricultural sector. He noted a potential shortage of pea seeds due to increased market access in India, which will end in November. Additionally, he reported a decrease in winter and spring barley areas, and a lack of commercial barley in Odessa to fill two ships. Despite demand, the market is lacking early-ripening winter cereals with high baking qualities. Furthermore, there's a growing trend among small processors towards durum wheat, but supply is limited in Ukraine.
