Krasnodar agrarians began harvesting rice. This year they expect a high crop of crops.
Kuban rice farmers have yet to harvest rice from 125 hectares. ha.
According to the head of the Kuban, Veniamin Kondratiev, 50% of the farms where rice is grown, namely the Krasnoarmeysky, Abinsky, Kalininsky and Slavic districts, have begun harvesting. According to Kondratyev, seeds of mainly local selection were used in the sowing.
The governor noted that through the efforts of Russian scientists over the past decade, rice growing has stepped forward: rice productivity in the Kuban has increased from 47 c / ha. up to more than 75 centner / ha., and annual gross production - up to 900 thousand tons.
Farms in the region were able to grow a good rice crop. And now it needs to be assembled without loss. A harvesting company will attract 734 combines. The elevators are ready to accept the rice, said Fedor Dereki, the Minister of Agriculture and Processing Industry of the region.
Veniamin Kondratyev believes that this year the gross harvest of rice will be no less than in 2018. Now the farmers of the region should harvest as quickly as possible, avoiding losses and put it in elevators.
