Preliminary results of the work of agro-industrial complex of the Bryansk region in 2015
Preliminary results of the work of agrarian and industrial complex of the Bryansk region reflected in two most significant branches of agricultural production: crop growing and animal husbandry, and also - processing in the current year have positive dynamics of development. The increase in agricultural production at current prices to the level of 2014 makes more than 119% now. The cultivated area in all farms of the region has expanded by 11 thousand hectares and made 823 thousand hectares, the expansion of the cultivated areas of traditional crops as grain and potatoes, perspective crops as wheat, corn for grain and silage, soy and sunflower has proceeded. The areas under grain crops occupied 354 thousand hectares, under potatoes - 58 thousand hectares. The areas under corn made 72 thousand hectares that is 15 thousand hectares more than last year; from them the corn for grain occupied 34. 5 thousand hectares or 48% of the corn areas. The peasants have done all the best to make this year harvest higher than that of the last year. More than 2 thousand tons of seeds have been purchased for updating cultivars, more than 115 thousand tons of mineral fertilizers have been introduced that is 28% more than the level of the last year. The increase in cultivated areas has directly affected an increase in gross output of crops in all farms of the region in 2015. Harvesting of grain and leguminous crops has been almost completed. 800 thousand tons of grains have been collected. More than 30 thousand hectares of corn on grain are to be harvested. It is planned to receive more than one million tons of grain (the fact of 2014 - 949 thousand tons). The grains of wheat have been got over 450 thousand tons. At the average, the productivity of grain crops of 28, 1 cwt./hectare in the region, the average productivity of wheat makes more than 35 cwt./hectare. At the average the productivity of grain crops has to be more than 30 cwt./hectare. In all farms 124 thousand tons of vegetables are expected to be harvested (in 2014 - 119 thousand tons). Among vegetables there is an excess of beetroots - by one and a half times, of carrots - by two times in comparison to the last year. We expect an increase in output of industrial crops: sugar beets, soy and colza as well compared to the level of 2014. At present the laying of bases of the harvest of 2016 - sowing of winter crops is coming to the end. It is pleasant that all tendencies of the agrarian and industrial complex are under a constant control of the regional government. The state support is still proceeding, and new measures are being developed.
