According to an ezheneyodelnik Agrooglyad: vegetables and fruit, nesmot­rya on sharp decrease in the poyosevny area under oguryotsy in 2007, Ukraine pro­dolzhaet to hold a lideryostvo  among  the European countries on the cultivated area occupied under this culture. Only open soil in 2007 the cucumber was poseyan on 44-46 thousand hectares. And even more than 1 thousand hectares of cucumbers vyrashhiva­etsya in hothouses and under the plenyoky. Thus in predyduyoshchy 8 years the average cultivated area under a cucumber which is grown up in open soil in Ukraine made 55 thousand hectares.

According to Evrostat who, possibly, for the reason ploxo­go knowledge of geography included Turkey in the estimates, but forgot to include Ukraine, the total area under crops under a cucumber in Turyotsy makes about 46 thousand hectares (it is mainly grown up under a film). In Poland the cucumber is grown up on the area by about 20 thousand hectares, and in Romania and Spain – on 5-10 thousand hectares. Croatia, by Evrostat’s estimates, sowed 4,5 thousand hectares though before the area under a cucumber in this country were essentially less this year. Sreyodi of large producers of cucumbers also Italy, Greece, Bulgaria and Hungary (about 2 thousand hectares under a cucumber).

Producers of a cucumber in Ukraine in the current year faced a large number of the problems connected with protection of crops from wreckers and diseases that grows out of warm winter. Thus, most likely, decrease in a crop of a cucumber of open soil in Ukraine will be sharper, than decrease in its poyosevny area.
