Rapeseed harvesting started by Agroliga on 760 ha

The Agroliga company has started winter rapeseed harvesting on 760 ha.

According to the company's report, plant height reaches 94–140 cm. The stage of formation of pods is mainly passed.

"In March-April of this year, there was a rainfall deficit throughout Ukraine. Rains in early May relieved drought stress in many parts of the country. And hot and humid June allowed the plants to grow according to the best scenario," the company says in a statement.

Warm June with rains favourably affects the quality and quantity of other crops, which are ripening in the fields, the company comments. Such weather conditions will continue in the near future, which is good for the ripening early grain crops, as well as for corn and sunflower. Experts project that in the current year the share of food-grade wheat in the crop will exceed 50%.

"Not so long ago, we entered into an agreement with Promatomenergo, which will help us complete the final process of debugging and testing and begin the launch of our thermal power plant, without waiting for the return of foreign specialists. The company will inform of the launch immediately upon completion of all work," the message reads.

As a reminder, in early March 2019, Agroliga started the construction of a thermal power station (TPS), which will work with the sunflower husk produced in the process of producing oil at the company's plants.
