OREANDA-NEWS. July 06, 2012. This was stated by Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry of Moldova Vasile Bumcaov following a sitting of the national commission on emergency situations held by Premier Vladimir Filat.

According to the Agriculture Minister, the rape yield is at risk too. However, the quality of wheat will be perfect this year, the Minster has said. 50% of a total amount of the crop will be food wheat and the second half will be the forage one.

There is some wheat in the state reserve and the government will purchase missing amounts of grains if necessary, Vasile Bumacov has stressed. The Minister thinks it important to assume mid- and long-term measures to reduce losses of autumn crops, such as maize, sunflower and sugar beet, and rescue the crops which can be rescued.
