Spring crops have been sown on 67% of the planned area in Belarus, BelTA learned from the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

The grain harvest, including corn, is now complete on 99% of the area, covering 2.262 million hectares, BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian Agriculture and Food Ministry.

There is the timeline for farmers to complete the harvesting of potatoes, sugar beets, and corn, Belarusian Agriculture and Food Minister Yuri Gorlov told journalists following his report to the head of state, BelTA has learned.

A recent storm flattened many hectares of crops in the presidential field in Alexandria, but experts believe that the harvest will be manageable, particularly for Belarusian spring wheat varieties which performed well despite the extreme weather.
