Gorlov: the harvesting campaign was quite effective – we did not lower the bar set last year

On the eve of the Day of Workers of Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Agro-Industrial Complex, Minister of Agriculture and Food Yuri Gorlov in an interview with SG spoke about significant achievements and prospects in the agro-industrial complex.

When asked about the results of the current harvest, the minister replied:

- The cleaning was quite effective - we did not lower the bar set last year. As of November 13, 11 million 449 thousand tons, more than five million tons of sugar beet, were removed from grain fields, taking into account rapeseed and corn. It is no exaggeration to say that growth is recorded in all crops and agricultural production positions. Of course, everything was achieved thanks to the hard, coordinated work of our farmers. After all, behind each record there is a round-the-clock, not always visible work for the overall result.

In each region, each district summed up the results at festivals-fairs of workers of the village "Dazhynki", confirming their success. But this does not mean that everyone relaxes and rests on their laurels. Work in agriculture never stops. Everything we see in the graphs and reports is the result of competent planning, accurate adherence to technologies and, of course, the dedication of people on the ground – from a mechanizer, agronomist-field or machine milking operator to the head of the region. These achievements include timely preparation of equipment, high-quality seeds, thoughtful plant protection and, of course, state support.
