Farmers of Skadovsky district have finished sowing winter crops, a little more than 11 thousand hectares have been sown out of the planned 12 thousand hectares, Alexander Maslov, head of the department of agriculture and land relations in the district administration, told Khan. Winter wheat in the new season occupies about 27% of last year's area (19% of the sown 2026 level), winter barley - less than 1% of last year's volumes. "The reduction in the area of ​​winter crops is caused, first of all, by two factors - the lack of a sales market (it is not profitable for farms to sow something that is later difficult to sell) and the cost of diesel fuel, which significantly increased the cost of production," Maslov explained.
