Wheat has been harvested from 98% of the area.
Currently, agrarians in Ukraine have nearly completed wheat harvesting, and have fully finished harvesting barley and peas. As of 8 September, across the country, threshing has been completed on 6,85 million hectares, which is 59% of the projected area. This was reported by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food.
“Gross grain and legume crops yield has already reached 32,2 million tons at an average yield of 47 c/ha,” the statement says.
In total harvested:
- wheat — 24,91 million tons from an area of 5,04 million ha (98% of the projected area) at an average yield of 49,4 c/ha;
- barley — 6,4 million tons from 1,48 million ha (100% of the area) at a yield of 43,4 c/ha;
- peas — 795,2 thousand tons from 298,2 thousand ha (100% of the area) at a yield of 26,7 c/ha;
- maize — 34 thousand tons from 14,5 thousand ha (35% of the area) at a yield of 23,4 c/ha;
- buckwheat — 10,9 thousand tons from 7,7 thousand ha (16% of the area) at a yield of 14,2 c/ha;
- corn — 43,2 thousand tons from 12,1 thousand ha at a yield of 35,9 c/ha;
rapeseed — harvesting completed, total harvested 3,83 million tons.
Farms have also begun harvesting late oilseeds:
- sunflower — 89,3 thousand tons of seeds from 56 thousand ha (1% of the projected area) at a yield of 15,9 c/ha;
- soy — 79,9 thousand tons from 45,3 thousand ha (3% of the projected area) at a yield of 17,6 c/ha.
In terms of gross grain harvest, farmers in the southern and central regions lead, notably in Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kirovohrad regions.
It was reported that Ukraine has already appealed to the European Union for additional support for the agricultural sector, as the situation has become critically strained. Due to large-scale shelling of port infrastructure and civilian vessels by Russia, exports of Ukrainian grain in the first two weeks of August 2026 year fell by 75%. This pushed farmers across the country to the brink of bankruptcy, as domestic prices for agricultural products dropped below their cost.
