KYIV, Nov 21 - The weather in Ukraine has not been conducive to a good harvest this season, precipitation has been very uneven, low temperatures have delayed the development of crops and lengthy autumn rains have prevented the harvesting of late crops and the sowing of winter crops, GrainTrade, an online Ukrainian grain exchange, said.
"In the phase development of winter crops, the lag behind the average long-term indicators is three or four weeks, so the fate of the winter crop harvest in 2023 will depend on weather conditions. Only 30% of the area was sown with winter wheat by the optimal deadline of September 25," GrainTrade said, quoting the Institute of Agriculture of the National Academy of Sciences.
