In Ukraine, a significant amount of the corn crop remains unharvested, the quality of which will suffer, said Minister of Agriculture Mykola Solskyi. He clarified that at the beginning of winter, one-third of the corn harvest in Ukraine remained unharvested, currently this amount has been cut in half. And although Ukrainian farmers know how to preserve their crop’s quality as much as possible, it still decreases every day. After all, the quality is affected by changes in temperature and humidity in the field and the specific corn hybrid. As of January 12, 23.5 million tons of corn were harvested in Ukraine from 3.6 million hectares, 85% of the total sown area.
