Ukraine Begins Sowing Winter Grain Crops for 2026 Season
Farmers have planted a small share of the projected winter grain area as the new sowing campaign gets underway, according to Ukrinform.
Ukrainian farmers have begun sowing winter grain crops for the upcoming season, according to a report by the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform.
As of September 16, 2026, farmers had sown 171,600 hectares of winter grain crops, Ukrinform reported. This figure represents 3.3% of the total area projected for winter grain sowing this season, the agency said.
The report did not specify further details on which regions have begun planting or provide a breakdown of the crops involved. Ukrinform did not immediately provide additional figures on the total projected sowing area or a timeline for completion of the campaign.
Ukraine is one of the world's major producers and exporters of grain, and winter crop planting is a key stage in the country's annual agricultural cycle, typically preceding harvests the following summer.
