Ukraine: Stocks of soy and maize
Stocks of soybeans at enterprises, whose main activity is to process and store soybeans, reached 1.14 million tons as of December 1, which exceeds the figure of the previous year by 9.41 thousand tons.
Such information was provided by State Statistic Service.
The biggest amount of soy is now available in the bins of Khmelnitsky, Vinnitsa and Zhitomir regions. The amount of soybeans in these areas was almost 146.000 tons, 134.300 tons and slightly more than 90.000 tons, respectively.
The agrarians of Dnepropetrovsk, Ivano-Frankovsk and Lviv regions managed to stock the least amount of soybean. The amount of soybean in these areas was 1.12 thousand tons, 3.91 thousand tons and 10.06 thousand tons respectively.
Corn stocks in the factories, whose main activities include processing and storage of oilseed, reached 14.23 million tons as of December 1, which is 368 thousand tons more than the previous year.
Such information was provided by State Statistic Service.
The biggest amount of corn was managed to stock by agrarians of Poltava, Chernigov and Vinnitsa regions. The amount of corn in these areas was 2.15 million tons, 1.75 million tons and 1.49 million tons respectively.
The agrarians of Zakarpattia, Chernovtsy and Zaporozhe regions managed to stock the least amount of corn. The amount of corn in these regions was 35.4 thousand tons, 55.4 thousand tons and 68.3 thousand tons respectively.
With significant reserves of corn still in storage across Ukraine, ensuring the long-term quality of this grain is crucial. One of the most important steps in post-harvest corn management is drying corn to optimal moisture levels. High humidity not only accelerates spoilage but also poses a risk of mycotoxin development and economic loss.
Modern corn dryers allow farmers and grain elevators to quickly and efficiently reduce grain moisture, ensuring it remains suitable for storage, processing, or export. Whether it’s a batch dryer or a continuous flow system, proper corn drying improves grain shelf life and market value.
