WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

The Russian Agricultural Producers' Union (РАПУ) has confirmed the previously made forecast on the export of mineral fertilizers, said the head of the organization, Andrey Guryev. He also assessed the prospects for their supplies to India. From December 10, export duties on wheat will be zeroed in Russia, following corn and barley. At the same time, indicative prices for almost all cereals will continue to fall. The farmers of the Kuban region will be provided with compensation for the purchase of seeds of autumn cereals, said Governor Veniamin Kondratyev. The administration also presented data on the harvest of major agricultural crops. Samara scientists have developed a neuroservice for identifying abandoned lands. Information about the essence and principle of operation of the new program has become known. In October, Russia became the largest exporter of sunflower oil to Turkey. April turned out to be the record month for supplies, and July was the least successful.
