IMC completed sowing of winter wheat and harvesting of sunflower

In early October, IMC finished sowing of winter wheat. A total of 20.3 thousand hectares were sown for the 2024 harvest.

Also, at the end of the second decade of October, harvesting of sunflower in the company was completed. A total of 92.7 thousand tonnes were harvested from an area of 32.1 thousand hectares with an average yield of 2.9 t/ha (the yield on the lands of the north of Chernihiv region, which were not cultivated last year due to the occupation and the subsequent need for examination for the presence of explosive objects, amounted to 2.2 t/ha, while on the remaining areas of Chernihiv region, Sumy region and Poltava region, the sunflower yield was 3.3 t/ha).

"The warm and dry weather of September enabled us to sow all the planned areas with winter wheat in a timely manner. And abundant precipitation in the second decade of October helped to obtain good sprouts of winter crops. As for this year's sunflower harvest, its average yield is not a record for IMC, given the objective reasons mentioned, but nevertheless, the overall volume and quality indicators of sunflower give hope for its successful sale for processing", - Oleksandr Verzhykhovskyi, Chief Operating Officer of IMC noted.
