The FINANCIAL — In the current year, Belarus will harvest at least 8.5 mln tonnes of grains, announced Leonid Zayats, Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus, on August 20.
Despite some negative forecasts and difficult weather conditions, agrarians will manage to produce the planned volumes of grains and pulses. As of the reporting date, agrarians overcame the harvest level of 8.3 mln tonnes of grains. The production volumes in clean weight will reach nearly 7.5-7.8 mln tonnes, and the carry-over stocks – 1.5 mln tonnes, said the Minister.
