Ukraine 2024 soybean harvest forecast at a record 5.7mn T, says ASAP Agri

KYIV: Ukraine is likely to harvest a record 5.7 million metric tons of soybeans in 2024 thanks to a larger than expected sowing area, the ASAP Agro agriculture consultancy said on Monday. Ukraine harvested about 5 million tons of soybeans in 2023.

ASAP Agri said it had raised its forecast for the 2024 soybean crop in Ukraine despite drought conditions thanks to increased acreage that the State Statistics Service put at a record 2.63 million hectares.
