Ukrainian farmers have harvested a record 68 million tons of grain so far this year. This harvest is boosted by corn yields hitting 7.8 tons per hectare, closing the gap with US yields of 11 tons per hectare, Gorbachev tells Interfax-Ukraine. Earlier this decade a good harvest was 6 tons per hectare. The overall grain harvest is boosted by yields growing by 11.2% this year, to 4.6 tons per hectare, the Agriculture Ministry reports.
