I wouldn’t pay too much attention to these harvest figures as reported from the Ministry of Agriculture but for the record here they are:
.
The Kyiv Post is quoting the Ministry at 1.77 MMT of grain from 72,000 hectares. Tut, tut Kyiv Post, 1.77 MMT from 72,000 ha will give 24 MT per hectare. Shurely shome mishtake?
.
I guess they mean 2.4 MT per hectare which would be about right.
.
Oilseed rape is coming in at 1.4 MT per hectare which isn’t too bad but as my old school reports used to say “plenty of room for improvement”.
