KYIV, Sept 27 – The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food estimates the 2023 season harvest at 79 million tons, which is at least 7 million tons more than last season, Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solsky said on air at the United News marathon.

"In May, at the start of the sowing season, we thought that we would have approximately 63-64 million tons. Then we raised the forecast to 67-68 million, then more – 70 million. Last year we had a result of 7 million tons, then 75 million tons. In the last two weeks we have been talking about a harvest that will probably be about 79 million, which is at least 7 million more than last year," he said.
