This year, many farmers in the south of Ukraine complain of adverse weather conditions for ripening grapes.

Michael, representing Yulin Vinogradnik LLC from the Nikopol district of the Dnipropetrovsk region, complains of adverse weather conditions. there were good prices, but there was no grape itself, as a lot of the berries went bad.

This year the situation is somewhat different. The overall picture was spoiled by the weather. According to Mikhail, this year they went to sell grapes to the wholesale market in the city of Krivoy Rog, where they sold the goods well. Familiar farmers who went to the same market the next day found a low price and sold the product at a loss. At the same time, demand was small.

Almost 350 grape varieties are grown in this farm. It works for the most part as a nursery. Each variety has one or two bushes. There are areas for mass varieties, such as Arcadia. In addition, they experiment with new varieties.

This year the grapes Melody of Victor Kalugin selection are well-rounded. Michael says that selection of grapes is developing rapidly, new varieties are annually bred. There are also bright prospects for those wishing to engage in authentic wines.
