Plan of stocking of Agrotrade group’s elevators as of mid-March is fulfilled by 87%: the holding’s granaries received 425 thousand tons of grain.
“This year we have the best indicator for the harvesting of early grains, which includes wheat, rape, rye, barley and mustard. It reached 115 percent execution,” the company said on Facebook Wednesday.
She pointed out that the second place is taken by oilseeds: the company’s elevators received 82.5% of the planned harvest of sunflower and soybeans, and the plan to harvest corn was fulfilled by 73%.

“In the end, considering all the difficulties, we are satisfied with the results of the season,” Konstantin Vorona, director of the production and technical department of Agrotrade Group, was quoted in the report.
