(MENAFN- AzerNews) This year, Belarus cropped more than 5 million tonnes of sugar
beets, which represents a record high harvest, Azernews reports, citing Belta news agency.
"Last year, the gross sugar beet harvest was almost 700,000
tonnes less," the Ministry emphasized.“This result was achieved
thanks to increased acreage and also higher yield. This year's
yield was almost 500 centners/ha as against about 470 centners/ha
last year."
91% of sugar beet has already been sent to beet receiving
stations. Brest Oblast posted the highest rate of 97%, Minsk Oblast
- 91%, Grodno Oblast - 88% and Mogilev Oblast - 81%. Vitebsk Oblast
and Gomel Oblast grow this crop on small areas.
