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, the agrarians of the Mykolaiv region used the lands that were flooded as a result of the Russian troops undermining the Kakhovka HPP. The head of Mykolaiv region noted that the farmers of Mykolaiv 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 from the state in the amount of 1.5 billion hryvnias.

In addition, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) selected 29 agricultural producers from the Voznesensk 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 Mykolaiv region, compared to 2022, increased by 24%.

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

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