Belarusian agrarians plan to complete the spring crops planting campaign until May 15, declared the Deputy Head of the Main department of plant industry at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus, Vasily Jadlovsky, on April 22.

According to him, Belarus should complete the planting campaign no later than May 15. Generally, the country already completed the planting works of early spring grains. In some oblasts — Vitebsk and Grodno ones — agrarians still have to plant grains throughout 1-2% of the remaining areas.

In particular, agrarians planted early spring grains and pulses (without corn, buckwheat, millet) throughout the areas of 884.6 thsd ha, or 100.7% of the plan. At the same time, Brest, Gomel, Minsk and Mogilev oblasts already completed the planting campaign of the reporting crops. But Grodno oblast planted early spring grains throughout 98.1% of the planned areas, while Vitebsk oblast — 98.7%.

In addition, Belarus planted flaxseed throughout 30.5 thsd ha (59.3% of the plan), and corn for grain — 99.5 thsd ha (44.6%). To date, agrarians already provided the spring planting campaign of all agricultural crops throughout 56.6% of the areas.

As a reminder, in the current year Belarus will plant spring crops throughout 2.4 mln ha. In particular, the areas under spring grains and pulses will total more than 1 mln ha (including 878.9 thsd ha of early spring grains). The areas under flaxseed will reach 51.4 thsd ha.
