Ukraine: 47 million tonnes of grain harvested, corn threshed on less than half of the area

Ukraine's Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food reported on November 10 that, as of that date, farmers had harvested 47 million tonnes of grain from 9.16 million hectares — 78.9% of the forecast area — at an average yield of 5.14 t/ha. Almost 18 million tonnes of oilseeds — sunflower, soybeans and rapeseed — have been threshed.

Key figures

• Grain: 47 million tonnes
• Oilseeds: almost 18 Mt
• 78.9% of area harvested
• Wheat: 26.3 million t
• Corn: 47.3% of area
• Sunflower: 91.6%

What changed

The wheat, barley, pea and rapeseed harvests are complete. Late crops are still being harvested — above all corn, which has been threshed on less than half of the forecast area. Odesa region leads by area threshed with 1,269.3 thousand ha; the highest yields are in Khmelnytskyi (7.61 t/ha), Sumy (7.06 t/ha), Chernihiv (6.79 t/ha), Chernivtsi (6.65 t/ha) and Vinnytsia (6.48 t/ha) regions.

In numbers

Results by crop as of November 10:

• Wheat — 26,259.7 thousand tonnes from 5,120.5 thousand ha, 5.13 t/ha.
• Barley — 6,599.2 thousand tonnes from 1,483.1 thousand ha, 4.45 t/ha.
• Rapeseed (winter and spring) — 3,905.3 thousand tonnes from 1,328.9 thousand ha, 2.94 t/ha; peas — 834.1 thousand tonnes, 2.76 t/ha.
• Corn — 13,188.5 thousand tonnes from 2,164.1 thousand ha (47.3% of forecast), 6.09 t/ha.
• Sunflower — 10,711.3 thousand tonnes (91.6% of area), 2.23 t/ha; soybeans — 3,297.3 thousand tonnes (94.4%), 2.18 t/ha.
• Sugar beet — 6,352.9 thousand tonnes (72.5% of area), 51.28 t/ha.

What it means for buyers

More than half of Ukraine's corn is still in the field, so farm combines will stay busy until late autumn. A week earlier the ministry reported 62 million tonnes of grain and oilseeds combined; as of November 10 the total is about 65 million tonnes. Farms that cannot finish the harvest with their own machines should plan a combine fleet upgrade for next season early: buying, shipping and clearing a machine from the US takes time.
