The government expects 8.8 tonnes of grain — except corn grain — to be harvested this year, Ministry of Agriculture reporters.
If the weather remains favorable and everything is done properly, agricultural organizations are expected to have a grain harvest of 8.4 million to 8.5 million tons. The rest of the expected amount of grain would come from private farmers and individuals.
Grain harvesting has already begun on a large scale, with crops having been gathered from about nine percent of the sown area.
A total of 1.5 million tons of grain is to be supplied this year in the framework of the government's procurement program, including 1.2 million tons for food production, ministry officials informed.
