About 7% of crops remain unharvested, mainly in the Center. This season is not easy for sugar beets, says a leading expert of the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies (IKAR) Evgeny Ivanov: the delay in harvesting agriculture is quite serious. “In many regions, it is removed at sub-zero temperatures, already under the snow. In previous years, of course, sugar beet was also sometimes dug in the cold, but such a scale of late harvesting in the history of Russia is a record, as much as now, beets have never been harvested in November, ”he told Agroinvestor".
