In the structure of sown areas, the following main groups are highlighted:
- cereal crops (excluding legumes, rice, and buckwheat) — 609.7 thousand ha (48.9%);
- forage crops — 400.5 thousand ha (32.2%);
- potatoes — 66.6 thousand ha (5.2%);
- legumes — 55.8 thousand ha (4.5%);
- vegetable crops — 56.6 thousand ha (4.5%);
- oilseeds — 25 thousand ha (2%);
- other crops (including melons) — 24.8 thousand ha (2%);
- sugar beet (factory) — 13.4 thousand ha (1.1%);
- cotton — 6.4 thousand ha (0.5%).
A comparison with the data from 2024 shows that the area sown with wheat increased by 7.1 thousand hectares, which accounted for a 29.9% growth.
However, in 2025, according to the information from the National Statistical Committee, 1,087 hectares of cereal crops were lost and written off, including 318 hectares of wheat and 769 hectares of barley. The main factors contributing to these losses include severe drought with low germination, as well as the impact of natural disasters — hail, mudslides, heat, and frosts.
As a result, in 2025, 1 million 789 thousand tons of grain were harvested (excluding legumes, rice, and buckwheat in processed weight), which is 14.2% less compared to the previous year. The decrease in harvest volumes is associated with a decline in the yield of cereals (excluding legumes, rice, and buckwheat) by 15.3% compared to 2024.
