"Agrarians in Odesa region continue to work tirelessly to ensure the stability of the agricultural sector and create a solid foundation for the 2025 harvest. Their efforts are aimed at strengthening food security not only in the region but also in the whole country.

The plan for the 2025 harvest is 760 thousand hectares of winter crops, in particular:

  • 560 thousand hectares of winter wheat;
  • 200 thousand hectares of winter barley;
