According to the plan, in 2022, due to the war, the sown area will be reduced by 20.5% – from 16.92 million hectares to 13.44 million hectares.
Last year, winter crops were sown for the 2022 harvest in a total area of 7.7 million hectares, including 6.5 million hectares of winter wheat, 1 million hectares of barley and 0.16 million hectares of rye.
