Belarus: Belarus is to harvest 150,000 tones of malting barley
According to Prime Minister of Belarus Sergey Sidorskiy, in 2007 grain crop should be 7.2 mln tons as minimum, AgriMarket reported June 7.
In general, the target is to harvest 8 mln tons of grains, including 150.000 tons of malting barley and 60,000 tonnes of flaxseeds.
According to Prime Minister, it is necessary to provide maximally high grains yield with minimal damage.
This year every possible thing will be done in Belarus to avoid harvest losses, Belarus Prime Minister Sergei Sidorskiy said at a national session dedicated to forage harvesting and preparations for this year’s grain harvesting campaign, The National Center of Legal Information of the Republic of Belarus reported June 7.
In his words, specific approaches need to be worked out to minimise losses and avoid last year’s errors.
Sergei Sidorskiy noted, so far the weather looks favourable this year, which allows expecting high yield of all agricultural crops. “We have every reason to believe in it, however, effective performance of all links of agriculture needs to be established”, he added.
The session also tabled the effectiveness of scientific support for agricultural work with a view to ensuring the planned yield of agricultural crops. Participants of the session talked over supplies of new machines, including grain-cleaning and drying installations and harvester’s mounting attachments for collecting rape and corn, to agricultural companies. The session also tabled the progress in paving machine stations, open-air grain storage facilities, approach roads to facilities for storing haylage and other kinds of fodder.
Sergei Sidorskiy got familiar with the state of sowed grain and leguminous crops, malting barley, fodder crops, sugar beet, flax and potato by the example of test fields of the Arable Farming Research Centre of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
The Prime Minister pointed out the need to more actively utilise scientific achievements in agriculture.
