According to APK-Inform, overall production of main niche grain crops (oats, buckwheat, rye) will exceed 1 mln tonnes in 2020, up 21% compared to the preceding season (0.84 mln tonnes), declared thw Head of the Business project unit at APK-Inform, Andriy Kupchenko.

“Higher production will be based on wider planted area under the crops. According to the preliminary estimate, planted area under rye was increased by 19% to 138 thsd ha, under oats - by 10% to 200 thsd ha, under buckwheat - by 14% to 79 thsd ha”, - the analyst said.
