President Announces Good Harvest
This year’s harvest in Russia will meet public needs fully and increase the country’s exports potential, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev stated today. “This year’s grain harvest is more than 100 million tons, a high for the last 15 years,” the president said. “That is a good showing and, of course, makes it possible to meet the country’s need for food and feedstuffs fully.” He was speaking at a meeting with members of the public organization Russian Agrarian Movement in Dmitrov, outside Moscow.
Medvedev noted that, in the first nine months of this year, agricultural production rose 6.5 percent, for the best results in seven years. “The most important task for us now is to maintain that rate by raising the investment attractiveness of the sector and by implementing infrastructure projects,” he said.
