Belarus to fasten rates of the sowing campaign

In the current year, Belarus became behindhand with the rates of the sowing campaign by five days compared to the previous year due to the unfavorable weather conditions, declared Darya Kozlovskaya, the press secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, on April 6.
