Farmers in the Stavropol region have started actively harvesting high-yielding sunflower and beet crops.

In the Stavropol Krai region, agriculture is growing and thriving, along with active harvesting of crops. According to the First Deputy Chairman of the regional government, Mr. Andrey Khlopyanov, farmers have already started harvesting sunflower.

The regional government, under the leadership of Governor Vladimir Vladimirov, constantly supports local farmers by providing them with financial opportunities.

This issue is handled by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Stavropol Krai.

At the moment, a little over 1 thousand hectares have already been harvested, totaling 3.4 thousand tons with a yield of 21.4 centners per hectare. Additionally, farmers have started sowing winter rapeseed. The area has been sown on 827 hectares," Khlopyanov shared.
