Olena Piskun, director of the department of agro-industrial development of the Mykolaiv regional military administration, reported that the agrarians of the Mykolaiv region export their products to 33 countries of the world.

She informed about this during the briefing, NikVesti writes.

«The export of agricultural products for the first half of the year remained at the level of last year and amounted to half a billion US dollars. In particular, the farmers of our region export their products to 33 countries around the world,» she said.

How does the agricultural sector work in the Mykolayiv region?

At the beginning of March, twelve regions in Ukraine have already started sowing spring cereals — wheat, barley, peas and oats. Among them is the Mykolaiv region.

This year, in the 2024 sowing campaign, agrarians of the Mykolaiv Oblast used land that was flooded as a result of the Russian troops undermining the Kakhovka HPP. The head of the Mykolayiv Oblast noted that the farmers of the Mykolayiv region began to grow more technical crops due to blocked ports and problems with logistics.

It should be noted that the agricultural producers of the Mykolaiv region, who suffered losses after flooding due to an explosion at the Kakhovka HPP, received compensation in the amount of 1.5 billion hryvnias from the state.

In addition, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) selected 29 agricultural producers from the Voznesenskyi district of the Mykolayiv region, who will receive modular grain storage facilities for storing their products.

In 2023, the production of agricultural products in the Mykolayiv region, compared to 2022, increased by 24%.

During 2023, Mykolaiv Oblast exported 2.3 million tons of grain and leguminous crops.

In general, the losses of Mykolaiv Oblast farmers due to the full-scale war amounted to 5.5 billion dollars.
