ssian Grain Union Arkady Zlochevsky believes that grain exports from the Crimea will reach half a million tonnes.
In the current season because of a crop failure Crimea produced 1.3 million tonnes of grain. On average, the Crimea can produce 1.5 to 2 million tonnes of grain.
Mr Zlochevsky said that previously seeds, fuel and fertiliser were delivered from Ukraine, but now those supplies had stopped and this could mean that Crimea will not sow its optimum crop this year.
