A material for the report at meeting 12
(report of the minister of an agrarian policy of AR Crimea of Akimov)
Almost a month ago we summed up cleaning early grain and discussed the main strategic questions of a laying of a crop of winter crops of 2009. Today, dear colleagues, we will discuss questions of tactical character in more detail.
Prior to the beginning of calendar terms of sowing of winter grain crops there are exactly two weeks. Considering the developed weather conditions, we can’t consider them optimum as today soil temperature on depth of 10 cm – +19 °, on 7 ° above optimum, moisture stocks in an arable layer of 5 mm at norm of 20 mm, a productive precipitation in September is predicted within 20 mm, proceeding from it it is possible to expect that by the beginning of October stocks of productive moisture will replenish to 15mm at preservation of temperature of the soil in a sowing layer at level +18 °.
Conclusion: in September from the 25th sowing is necessary for carrying out, generally on irrigation lands.
On a waterless valley on not steam predecessors mass sowing is expedient for beginning not earlier than October 5.
As you can see, dear colleagues, conditions of autumn of the current year won’t be such favorable, as last year. Therefore for performance of the Verkhovna Rada put by the Chairman tasks by Anatoly Pavlovich Gritsenko – to make grains of early grain crops not less than 1700 thousand t – it is necessary to increase in addition the areas under winter grain, generally at the expense of available not used arable lands to 600 thousand hectares.
My efforts also are directed on it now personally and specialists of the ministry, we work over this question with each vice-chairman of regional administrations and chiefs of regional managements of agroindustrial development.
Today as a whole on the republic it is prepared for sowing of winter crops of 562 thousand hectares.
Nine areas already prepared the areas in the volumes provided by the resolution of Council of ministers No. 435; these are such as Belogorsky, Krasnogvardeysky, Krasnoperekopsky, Lenin, Nizhnegorsky, Razdolnensky, Saksky, Soviet and Black Sea.
In the next 2-3 days at level of a task of Council of ministers will be prepared under area crops in Kirovsk and Simferopol areas.
Almost any measures for ensuring preparation under crops winter even in provided by the resolution of Council of ministers volumes doesn’t accept the management of the Bakhchsarai district state administration.
As to additional expansion of the areas to 600 thousand hectares, today only two areas Kirov and Black Sea gave the scanty offers.
On this subject we will conduct serious conversation with deputy chairmen and chiefs of managements soon. Therefore I urgently recommend within three days once again in details to understand and reveal not used arable lands and as that were taken away under crops of a winter rape, but won’t be sowed by it in the absence of moisture.
Concerning quality of preparation of the soil it is necessary to note that in the current year it is much higher, than was in previous years. It was promoted in no small measure by timely carrying out a lushcheniye of an eddish on the cleaned areas, and also more active work of heads of agricultural enterprises on updating of machine and tractor park.
Preparation of seeds
Taking into account expansion of cultivated areas should be increased and volumes of preparation of seeds by 8 thousand t.
Today two areas not only don’t increase volumes of preparation of seeds, but still yet didn’t carry out a task defined by the resolution of Council of ministers of the republic. In the Bakhchsarai area from 1556 t provided by a task 1370 t or 88 % are prepared, and in Krasnoperekopsky – from 4586 t is prepared, according to the operative reporting, only 4229 t or 92 %.
Such situation in these areas can testify only to two reasons: full irresponsibility and absence of control to this major question from administrative bodies, or it is a skill level of experts which don’t understand a difference between preparation of a seed material and its konditsionnost, that is quality indicators.
At last meeting we said that the Ministry of an agrarian policy of Ukraine an objective within 5 years to provide crops only with seeds of the first reproduction. To carry out it it is possible under condition of the organized work on a sortoobnovleniye. Annually the order of our ministry to areas leads up scientific and reasonable volumes of purchase of elite seeds. In the current year semxozam areas it is necessary to buy 1221 t. elite seeds of winter crops, 941 t are actually bought. or 77 %.
High level of the organization of work on a sortoobnovleniye should be noted in the Dzhankoysky area (122 % of elite to requirement), Soviet (138 % are bought), Saksky (106 %), Pervomaisk (206 %).
At the same time this question isn’t given at all attention regional administrative bodies in Bakhchsarai and Kirovsk areas where it is not bought yet any ton.
It is extremely poorly conducted, and to tell it is neglected more truly, a sortoobnovleniye in the Black Sea area where for today there are to requirement only 16 % of elite seeds.
Serious concern cause in us and low rates of finishing of seeds of winter crops to sowing standards.
As of September 10 specific weight of konditsionny seeds on the republic makes 83 %.
In agricultural enterprises of all forms of ownership of the Kirov region of konditsionny seeds 47 %, Lenin – 61 %, Razdolnensky – 76 % are prepared only.
Chairmen of the state administrations of the called areas present at a hall I ask to understand the reasons of the developed failure situation and to provide till September 25 preparation of konditsionny seeds in full.
The question of a state of affairs in republic seed farming on a sortoobnovleniye is submitted for the next meeting of Council of ministers where basic job evaluation in this branch will be given.
Security with fertilizers and protravitel
Considering a situation in the market of the material resources used in agricultural production, including fertilizers and means of protection of plants, specialists of the ministry constantly directed attention to need of their purchase in August. Nevertheless today yet have no full requirement of phosphoric fertilizers of agricultural enterprise of all forms of ownership Bakhchsarai – 55 %, Belogorsky – 90 %, Lenin – 96 %, Nizhnegorsky – 96 % and May Day – 96 % of areas.
By Protravitelyami of seeds still aren’t provided in full requirement of an economy Bakhchsarai – 87 % and Lenin – 88 % of areas.
Today that who didn’t listen to recommendations of specialists of the ministry, it is necessary to pay more expensively for each ton: superphosphate – from 20 to 50 UAH, ammofosa – from 10 to 30 UAH.
And this rise in price occurred in August.
Considering droughty conditions of autumn of the current year, the Ministry of an agrarian policy of an autonomy recommended to increase volumes of vlagozaryadkovy and dovskhodovy waterings to 81 thousand hectares against 72 thousand hectares last year. On these purposes in the current year at the disposal of the Crimean agricultural producers there are about 7 million UAH. the public budgetary funds for compensation for the electric power consumed on an irrigation.
Passed August and a third of September and what is made for replenishment vlagozapasov under crops of winter crops?
As of September 11 on one hectare, according to the operative reporting of regional managements, vlagozaryadny waterings aren’t carried out in Kirovsk and Nizhnegorsky areas. Less than 1 % from provided by the resolution of Council of ministers of the areas is watered under crops of winter crops in the Simferopol area, only 4 %, that is 300 hectares from 7,5 thousand, watered under crops of winter crops in farms of the Dzhankoysky area.
Dear heads of administrations, deputies, chiefs of managements and heads of farms, time leaves rapidly, water supply on SKK will stop in the third decade of October. Each lost day on irrigated lands next year will turn back tens of thousands of tons of the half-received grain yield and million hryvnias of the money allocated from the state budget for compensation of the electric power spent for watering.
Dear colleagues!
Considering current situation, all of us should draw a conclusion: all complex of works on crops of winter crops in the planned volumes to us is necessary for carrying out in 20 calendar days.
To make it it is possible only having concentrated all resources and having coordinated actions of all links of the power and managing subjects.
The one who seriously treated technical re-equipment of the economy who doesn’t live one day will win, and thinks of prospect.
In the last two years and eight months a close attention were given to a modernization question by administrative and managing subjects in Krasnogvardeysky, Krasnoperekopsky, Black Sea areas. At the same time the weakest attention is given to these questions in the Bakhchsarai and Belogorsky areas where it is updated from only 2 to 5 % of park of tractors, soil-cultivating and sowing equipment.
Today on a practical part of a seminar all of you saw offered options of highly effective use not only new, but also the old equipment which is maintaining in absolute majority of agricultural enterprises of all forms of ownership.
Finishing the performance, I consider necessary to focus your attention on problems of the agrarian market and, first of all, on task performance on grain sale in Agarny Fund.
The resolution of Cabinet council of Ukraine from June 18, 2008 of No. 583 About formation of the state food reserve and regional resources of a foodgrain in 2008 to the Autonomous Republic Crimea finished volumes of purchases of a foodgrain in the state food reserve in number of 55 thousand tons.
From 22.07.08 No. 387 and from 19.08.08 No. 437 this sales volume is distributed by the resolution of Council of ministers of the Autonomous Republic Crimea on areas in proportion to volumes of gross collecting grain of wheat.
The course of performance of a state program on formation of the state food reserve was analysed at meeting of Council of ministers of the Autonomous Republic Crimea of 19.08.2008 and the relevant resolution No. 437 About a course of formation of regional resources and the state food reserve of a crop of 2008 in the Autonomous Republic Crimea with the corresponding assesment of the work of regional public administrations in the Autonomous Republic Crimea is accepted.
As of 11.09.2008g., it is actually bought Agrarian by fund of 23891,51 tons of a foodgrain of a crop of 2008 or 43,44 % to a task in volume of 55 thousand tons. This work only in the Krasnoperekopsky area where the task for 105,7 % is carried out is in full complete. Below srednerespublikansky indicators of sale of a foodgrain of wheat to Agrarian fund at farms of the Nizhnegorsky area – 2045 tons or 43,9 %, Razdolnensky – 1897 tons or 43,7 %.
At the lowest level work on formation of the state food reserve of grain of a crop of 2008 in Belogorsky – about 542 tons or 35 %, Dzhankoysky – 1545 tons or 26,7 %, Soviet – 746,4 tons or 19,7 % and Leninsk areas – 174,6 tons or 3,4 % is conducted. And this with the fact that now at the auction of the Crimean regional office of the Agrarian exchange the most favorable prices for a foodgrain are fixed: wheat 2 classes – 1446,80 UAH/t, wheat 3 classes – 1317,55 UAH/t, wheat 4 classes – 1201,14 UAH/t, class wheat 5 – 1050,90 UAH/t.
Need of acceleration of rates of sale to Regional office of Agrarian fund in the Autonomous Republic Crimea of a foodgrain is caused by sharp falling of the world prices for food wheat and, as a result, active actions of the zernotorguyushchy companies on reduction of prices of food and fodder grain in domestic market of Ukraine. Therefore it is necessary for regional public administrations to accelerate works on sale to Agrarian fund of Ukraine of a foodgrain.
For the organization of work on formation of the state food reserve the Ministry of agarny policy, Regional office of Agrarian fund of Ukraine, Republican state inspection of purchases and quality of agricultural production, the State grain inspection, the hlebopriyemny enterprises and elevators are involved.
Some words about the market of light oil products
I pay your attention to the extremely favorable price environment developing in the regional market of light oil products, caused by falling of the world prices for oil and, as a result, steady reduction of prices of diesel fuel and nizkooktanovy gasoline (A-80). As a result in the first decade of September average actual wholesale selling prices made on diesel fuel – from 5,80 to 5,90 hryvnias for 1 liter, on A-80 gasoline – from 5,00 to 5,20 hryvnias for 1 liter.
Such price level is lower than price offers on the light oil products, offered "Ukrgazdobychey".
According to the experts, reduction of prices of light oil products will proceed prior to the beginning of October of the current year.
I ask to take exhaustive measures for the organization of purchases by agricultural producers of light oil products for carrying out an autumn complex of field works, and, first of all, sowing of winter grain crops.
