Ukraine is poised to significantly increase its amaranth cultivation area to 10,000 hectares this year, with the Volyn region alone planning to contribute at least 1,000 hectares. This expansion is driven by a surge in global demand for amaranth seeds, a demand that outstripped the supply capabilities of the Association of Amaranth and Amaranth Products Producers last year. To support this growth, efforts are being made in Volyn to set up facilities for the initial cleaning and drying of amaranth. Additionally, there is an ongoing search for more partners throughout Ukraine to boost processing capabilities for small-seeded crops, aiming to streamline logistics and reduce costs.
