OREANDA-NEWS. January 29, 2014. Holding of the spring field works have been subjected to a threat. So, just presently the agrarians would have been preparing relevant material and a technical base for that. However, through taking by force of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food, coordination of these works has been suspended temporarily.

 Peculiar concern was raised by insufficient amount of accumulated protective measures for the plants, chemical fertilizers and reserve seeds for reinoculation of winter crops. Director of the department for farming of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food Olexandr Demydov stated.

“Through taking by force of the Ministry around 400 specialists remained without workplace and stable work. And they are families, children, parents – everyone must understand that,” director of the department stressed. However, the principal issue that raises concern of both the Ministry and agrarians is holding of the spring field campaign coordinated by the Ministry.

“This year the agricultural producers have sawn 7.8 million hectares with winter seeds, including 6.3 million with winter wheat. Presently the state of winter crops, taking into account evaluation of the science and the regions is satisfactory and good at 92%. But in connection with the fact that the Ministry cannot perform their functions fully, there exists certain concern with regards to carrying out of the spring field campaign,” Olexandr Demydov noted.

So, according to the specialist, there has been worked out a program of providing agriculture producers with mineral fertilizers through the Agrarian Fund. Two more issues for concern appear providing with sufficient amount of seeds and plant protection agents.
