It is clarified that an increase in the gross harvest will make it possible to fully ensure the loading of processing enterprises and expand the country's export opportunities.
According to the agency, the cultivation of crops is carried out in 49 regions of the country, while about 75% of the gross harvest falls on the Altai Territory, Bashkiria, Kursk, Voronezh and Oryol regions.
