The annual tradition of visiting the fields three to four weeks after the end of spring field work continues - today in the Promyshlennovsky municipal district, seedlings were evaluated by Deputy Chairman of the Government of Kuzbass Denis Ilyin and Minister of Agriculture Andrei Aritkulov.

The spring field campaign for the fulfillment of this task was very successful - the sown area amounted to 945 thousand hectares, it was possible to increase it by more than 30 thousand hectares. The work done is colossal. We will continue to work to fulfill all the tasks of the Governor in terms of food security,” Denis Pavlovich comments.
By tradition, the Industrial District makes the most impressive contribution to the Kuzbass "loaf". According to the results of the detour, the seedlings were assessed satisfactorily.
Recall that the sown area in the region amounted to 945 thousand hectares, which is 30.6 thousand hectares more than last year. 615.8 thousand hectares were sown with grain and leguminous crops, 162.3 thousand hectares were sown with oilseeds, 8.7 thousand hectares were planted with potatoes, and 1.04 thousand hectares were planted with vegetables.
