Harvest 2017: more than 55 million tons of grain harvested in Ukraine

The harvest of 2017 has become one of the most successful for Ukraine in recent years. According to official data, more than 55 million tons of grain were threshed, which is 5 million tons more than a year earlier. Corn, wheat and barley, which showed record results, became the leaders in yields this year.

However, despite the overall success, individual crop yields were affected by adverse weather conditions. For example, this year’s sunflower harvest was lower than in the past, due to dryness during the growing season. Also, according to experts, grain quality was lower due to high humidity during harvesting.

However, the overall result of the 2017 harvest suggests that Ukraine continues to be one of the largest grain producers in the world. In addition, a favorable situation on world markets may contribute to an increase in grain exports from Ukraine next year.

Efficient grain storage is just as important as a successful harvest. With more than 55 million tons of grain harvested in Ukraine in 2017, the demand for reliable and high-capacity storage solutions has significantly increased. Modern grain silos  play a key role in preserving the quality of the crop, preventing losses, and ensuring a stable supply chain throughout the year.

3S Company offers grain silos from Bentall Rowlands — a leading European manufacturer known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and modular design. These silos are engineered to meet the needs of both small farms and large agro-industrial complexes, helping optimize logistics and reduce post-harvest losses.
