Ukrainian farmers expect a bumper corn crop – 30 million tons, a 20% jump from last year

Ukrainian farmers expect a bumper corn crop – 30 million tons, a 20% jump from last year, the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club reports. Corn, Ukraine’s biggest grain, will compensate for a weak wheat harvest, pulling total grain production up by 4%, for a total harvest of 64 million tons. Petra Lakhaya, market analyst for the Club writes: “Given the high prices in the world market, [this] may allow Ukrainian farmers to achieve high financial returns.”
