The Ukrainian crop is estimated at 19.5 million tons. That’s 13 million tons below last year and down 2 million tons from last month’s estimate. USDA Chief Economist Seth Meyer says satellite images were used to come up with that number. “You can see progress where the conflict is not occurring and you can see damage to the crops in areas in the border region between the occupied zone and the Ukrainian-held zone; there’s fields that are burned and action not taking place simply because it is not safe to do it.”
