Farms.com determined the advancing teams using available ag data.

Based on available ag information, Ukraine will win the 2020 Euro Cup.

Agriculture accounts for about 12.2 percent of the country’s total GDP and crop farming is responsible for about 73 percent of the country’s total ag output.

Ukraine is the fourth largest exporter of corn and barley and the sixth largest exporter of wheat.

Its output is estimated to reach 70 million tons and 78 million tons of cereals and soybeans respectively by 2024.
