80% of planned areas sown with winter wheat in Ukraine

As of October 21, 2025, Ukrainian farmers sowed 4,833.9 thousand hectares with winter crops, which is 74.0% of the projected area.

 

In particular, the following were sown:

• winter wheat – 3,443.6 thousand hectares or 82% of the plan,
• winter barley – 300.3 thousand hectares or 30% of the plan,
• winter rye – 60,000 hectares,
• winter rape - 1.03 million hectares.

 

Among the leaders in grain crops sowing are Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, and Kirovohrad regions. At the same time, Poltava and Ternopil regions have already completed sowing.

 

The largest areas of winter rapeseed were sown in Vinnytsia, Odessa, and Khmelnytskyi regions. Farmers in 13 regions have completed its sowing.

 

Heavy rainfall throughout Ukraine is improving conditions for seed germination and crop development, which will have a positive impact on markets and reduce speculative pressure on the prices of the new harvest.
