The industrial hemp crop area in Ukraine has grown by 7.2% this year, reaching 1.1 thousand hectares, as reported by AgroTimes and the State Statistics Service. This increase does not include regions temporarily occupied by Russia or those affected by ongoing hostilities. A notable portion of this cultivation is overseen by the 'Agrotrade' Group, which successfully harvested technical hemp on approximately 230 hectares in the Chernihiv region, marking their second harvest of this crop.
