Ukraine Grain/Oilseed Production Seen 19 Pct Lower In 2009/10
UkrAgroConsult forecasts Ukraine to harvest 19.1 mln t of wheat in 2009/10, unchanged from its previous forecast and 21% lower than the 24.2 mln t harvested in 2008/09.
Corn production is projected at 7.6 mln t, also unchanged from last month and 24% down on last year's 10.0 mln t.
Barley production is expected at 10.5 mln t, up 0.5 mln t from last month but still 14.6% down on last year's 12.3 mln t.
Rapeseed production should total 2.6 mln t, the same as last month's estimate, 10.3% down on last year's 2.9 mln t.
Sunseed output is seen at 5.7 mln t, 0.2 mln t down on last month and 12.3% down on last year's 6.5 mln t.
That gives us a total production for the main five grains and oilseeds of 45.5 mln t, 19% down on last year's 56.2 mln t.
