According to the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Dmitry Patrushev, the state of winter crops by the beginning of spring in Russia as a whole is better than the average over the past 5 years.
More than 93% of crops are in good and satisfactory condition.
In some subjects, active vegetation is already beginning.
Winter crops are currently being fed in nine constituent entities on a total area of about 2 million hectares.
“Spring sowing has already started in the Krasnodar, Stavropol Territories, Crimea, Dagestan, the Chechen Republic.
More than 30 thousand hectares have been sown, and almost all of this is a grain group.
I note that the start of work corresponds to the average multi-year agro-technological terms,” the head of the department noted.
Earlier, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia announced that the department would allocate 7 billion rubles from the federal budget to compensate part of the costs of agricultural producers for the transportation of agricultural products.
