“In Russia, they started harvesting buckwheat.
Its harvest has already amounted to 230 thousand tons, which is 2.5 times more than on the same date last year, ”the ministry said in a statement.
It is noted that own production of buckwheat fully covers all the needs of the domestic Russian market.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture announced that the Russian side was ready to supply up to 30 million tons of grain to foreign markets in the second half of the year.
