The grape harvest in Ukraine is significantly lower than last year's due to abnormal heat

This year, Ukrainian winegrowers failed to harvest a good harvest of "sun berries". Some even had to reduce the area of vineyards. Taras Bashtannyk, president of the Ukrainian Fruit and Vegetable Association, said this, SEEDS reports. "This year, due to dry weather conditions and extreme heat, the quality and quantity of grapes is very low. We have not only a crop failure, but also small grapes, they are, in fact, the size of raisins. "On the horse" were only those very few farms that have drip irrigation. They, of course, received the planned harvest, and, taking this into account, good wholesale prices: 45-55 hryvnias per kilogram of grapes. This is a rather high price for table grapes," he noted. In addition, the weather and previous seasons force winegrowers to reduce plantings somewhat, leaving only the most profitable varieties.
