As of July 15, Ukraine has harvested 3.6 million tons of grain from 10% of its planned harvest area, with a yield of 2.93 tons per hectare. This is a decrease from the previous year's harvest, which saw 5.5 million tons harvested from 9% of the planned area. The Ministry of Agrarian Policy has reduced its wheat harvest forecast to 18-19 million tons. Exports of grain and leguminous crops have decreased by 55% compared to the previous season. Wheat prices have fallen on world stock exchanges due to better harvesting rates and expectations of increased offers from Ukrainian seaports, which are currently blocked.
