According to the polling conducted by APK-Inform experts, Ukrainian agricultural producers reported that the planted areas under buckwheat will reduce, due to expansion of the areas under late spring crops, including corn and sunflower seed. At the same time, the situation developed, due to some decline of prices for the crop.

According to agrarians, to date the average bid price for buckwheat totals 7000 UAH/t, down almost two times compared with the last year level.

At the same time, the respondents noted that the current weather conditions are favourable for the planting campaign, meeting the agronomical standards. According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, as of May 5 agrarians planted buckwheat throughout 14.6 thsd ha (10% of the forecast).
