en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ukraine has maintained its forecast for grain harvest and exports for the 2026/27 season, expecting total grain production in 2026 to reach 60 million metric tons, roughly on par with 2025.

Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Agriculture Taras Vysotskiy told Reuters on Friday that no key factors have been identified that could significantly alter the planting area structure for 2027. Ukraine is a major exporter of grains and oilseeds in Europe, with corn and wheat dominating the planted area.

During the 2026/27 season (July to June of the following year), Ukraine may export 43 million tons of grain. To date, Ukraine has exported 34.4 million tons of grain in the 2025/26 season.

The Ukrainian Grain Traders Association (UGA) stated this week that it expects the total harvest of Ukraine's three main grain commodities—corn, wheat, and barley—to reach 60.1 million tons in 2026.

Vysotskiy said that despite Russia's bombing of its ports in an attempt to disrupt shipments, Ukraine maintains a strong export pace. Over 90% of Ukraine's grain exports are shipped through three seaports in the Odesa port hub.

Vysotskiy noted that Ukraine's sowing work for 2026 is nearly complete, and next year's crop structure is likely to remain largely unchanged. He said no factors have yet been identified that could significantly alter the planting area structure for the 2028 harvest, adding that Ukraine typically sows up to 5 million hectares of winter wheat.
