“Speaking about the course of the sowing campaign, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture noted that more than 42 million hectares were sown with spring crops, which is about 80% of the projected area.
With favorable weather, a decent harvest is expected, which will ensure the domestic market and export potential, ”the ministry says.
The Ministry of Agriculture also reports that the saturation of the domestic market with agricultural products and foodstuffs contributes to price stabilization.
