Tridge summary
The unusual lag in the autumn sowing continues, as in mid-November the areas with wheat are still well below the 10 million decares cultivated during the same period last year. The latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture show that as of November 11, the areas sown with wheat are 8.5 million decares, and with barley - 850 thousand, compared to 950 thousand at the same time in 2020. It is possible that this fall we have a sharp decrease in areas with both cereals - wheat and barley, which is kept at high fertilizer prices, farmers comment. We have an increase only in rapeseed, whose sowing ended with more sown areas than last fall - 1.2 million decares, compared to 1.1 million decares as of November 11, 2020. There is a significant decrease in triticale and rye, where sown these fall areas are 88,260 decares and 42,710 decares, respectively, while last November these areas were 112,520 decares and 46,940 decares, respectively. The statistics of the agricultural department show a movement in the export of grain, as compared to November 2020 the export of wheat is almost double (by 82% over last year).
