How to Profitably Buy or Sell Wheat in Ukraine

Wheat is the oldest cereal plant, widely grown due to the variety of developed varieties. There are many types, hybrids, and varieties of wheat; it can be annual or biennial.

By sowing time, it is divided into winter and spring varieties. Winter varieties are sown from August to mid-October in regions with a mild climate and snow cover in winter. Harvesting occurs the following year in summer. Spring varieties are sown from March to May, requiring 100 frost-free days to mature. Harvesting takes place at the beginning of autumn; these varieties are more drought-resistant than winter ones and possess excellent baking qualities.

It is also worth distinguishing between soft and hard wheat varieties. Soft wheat has a high protein and gluten content and is used for flour production. Hard wheat varieties are used to make pasta products. Both soft and hard varieties can be winter or spring.

To achieve a high wheat yield, it is necessary to properly select varieties and prepare them for planting. Fields are cultivated with cultivators, and the surface is leveled to ensure uniform germination and easy seed-soil contact. Seeds are sown at a depth of 3-5 cm, with row spacing of 15 cm. Fertilizers must be applied for good growth.

In Ukraine, this crop occupies the largest area of arable land. Wheat is grown almost everywhere in the country, but the highest yields are harvested in Lviv, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Khmelnytsky, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. Ukraine ranks among the top five global wheat exporters. The largest buyers are:

• Indonesia,
• Egypt,
• Netherlands,
• Italy,
• Philippines,
• China,
• Tunisia,
• Morocco.
