Ukraine planting area in focus, as global fertilizer sourcing evolves (Farm Policy) 

March 16, 2022


Farm Policy published an article stating that the area sown with Ukraine’s 2022 spring grain crops could fall 39 percent to 4.7 million hectares due to Russia’s military invasion. Senior research fellow Joseph Glauber told the Washington Post, “Before the invasion, it was assumed that about 24 million tons of wheat sown last fall would be shipped out of Ukraine starting in the summer.”  The USDA has downgraded that to 20 million, but Glauber said he has heard it could be as little as 6 or 7 million, ‘with Russia cutting most of the rail lines down from the main wheat-producing areas to the port, to Odesa and on that side of Crimea.’”
