Grain harvest in Belarus to be 6.9 mln tonnes

Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Belarus forecasts grain harvest at 6.9 mln tonnes in 2006, informed Deputy Chief of crop growing main office of the Ministry, Vladimir Kuratnik.

Before the department had expected to harvest 8 mln tonnes of grain. But according to Kuratnik because of the hot weather it is difficult to announce an exact index.

We remind that the day before the first Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic, Nadezhda Kotkovets, announced another gross grain yield - no moră than 6 mln tonnes (against 6.4 mln tonnes in 2005).
