KYIV, April 3 – According to preliminary estimates, the cost of the spring sowing campaign in Ukraine would be around UAH 4,000 per ha this year, which is 10% more than in 2017, First Deputy Agricultural Policy and Food Minister of Ukraine Maksym Martyniuk has said.

"The entire sowing campaign, according to preliminary assessments, would cost around UAH 4,000 per ha. The increase in the cost would be 10% compared with the previous year – slightly due to prices of fuel and slightly due to prices of seeds," he said at a press conference on Tuesday.
