Wheat, barley, rye, oats and legumes have been fully harvested, and corn is 67% complete. Rapeseed is also fully harvested, and sunflower and soybeans are 95% harvested. On average, the harvest is 90% complete, so we can obviously summarize

- Vysotsky said.

According to him, Ukraine's wheat harvest remained on par with the previous year: more than 22 million tons, barley and rapeseed - about 6 million tons. “This year's soybean harvest is a record - 6 million tons are expected, which is a historical record in Ukraine.
