UKRAINE GROWERS BEGIN PLANTING SECOND POTATO BATCH.
IN the Mykolaiv region of Ukraine, agricultural holding PAEK Company has begun planting a second round of potatoes.
Owner Yuriy Kormyshkin said if the results of the summer harvest are any indication, which is 30 tons per hectare, the farm should collect several thousand tons of potatoes this autumn.
As with last year, the company’s agronomists plan to harvest two crops of vegetables. This year, the company has allocated around 2,000 hectares of land for vegetable farming.
Some of the potatoes and other vegetables grown by the company will be exported, with the rest being sold domestically under the registered trademark “Smakota”.
