KYIV, April 13 (Reuters) - Ukrainian food producers'
union UAC on Thursday said the area sown to sunflowers could
rise to around 6 million hectares from about 5.2 million
hectares in 2022.
Denys Marchuk, deputy chairman of UAC, told a news briefing
that farmers would prefer to sow more lucrative oilseeds this
year - sunflower, soybeans and rapeseed.
The Ukrainian agriculture ministry has forecast that the
sunflower area could rise to 5.6 million hectares this year.
