According to the polling conducted by APK-Inform experts, in some southern oblasts of Ukraine sunflower seed yield reduced compared with the last year indices.

Agricultural producers of Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson oblasts noted that the oilseed yield in their regions varied within 0.8-1.6 t/ha, against 1.5-2 t/ha in 2013.

According to agrarians, the deficit of productive precipitations in the period of June-September caused the yield reduction.

We should note that according to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine, as of October 14 the reporting oblasts harvested 1.4 mln tonnes of sunflower seed.
