Results of harvesting of early grain crops of a crop of 2008 g
Report of the minister of an agrarian policy of AR Crimea of Akimov
Cleaning of early grain crops is complete.
Agricultural producers of an autonomy can report with all responsibility on the Verkhovna Rada and republic Council of ministers that the task which was put in 2007 on ensuring production of early grain crops in volume of 1500 thousand t of grain, is successfully executed.
According to the state statistics, by August 1 2008g. all categories of managing subjects gross production of early grain crops in originally credited (bunker weight) made 1675 thousand t. The Crimea didn’t collect such shaft of grain since 1992.
Today it is possible to hear the skeptical statements, one say that the crop is received thanks to the nature, others – only because of area expansion.
Such statements humiliate those people who enclosed the work and the knowledge in providing a crop of the current year. It is possible to agree only that it there were two contributing factors. If gross collecting grain in the current year was provided only at the expense of expansion of the areas, productivity would remain at level of previous years – that is no more than 22 c/hectares if at the expense of favorable weather conditions, productivity would increase at most by 2 c/hectares. Actually in the current year received on 28,6 c/hectares that on 5,5 c/hectares above level of previous year.
Receiving such crop was promoted by purposeful organizational work of Council of ministers of AR Crimea, the Ministry of an agrarian policy of an autonomy and regional administrations. Were positively reflected in a crop and the increased level of technological discipline provided with heads and experts in the majority of agricultural enterprises of all forms of ownership, and also competent work, first of all, specialists of republican and regional seed inspectorates, stations of protection of plants, other auxiliary services of agro-industrial complex.
Farmers achieved the highest productivity in the current year: Krasnogvardeysky – 33,6 c/hectares, Kirov – 33,6 c/hectares and Simferopol – 30,7 c/hectares of areas.
The hundred-thousandth boundary was overcome by agricultural enterprises: Dzhankoysky – 168,1 thousand t, Saksky – 152,9 thousand t, Nizhnegorsky – 144,9 thousand t, Lenin – 134,0 thousand t, Simferopol – 122 thousand t, May Day – 121,9 thousand t, Soviet – 115 thousand t, Razdolnensky – 114,3 thousand t and Black Sea – 102,1 thousand t of areas.
The indisputable leader and the champion in grain production is the Krasnogvardeysky area which agricultural producers grew up and collected nearly 249,0 thousand t of grain and exceeded the best indicator of the region of previous years.
With special gratitude it is necessary to note work of staff of agricultural enterprises where the crop over 50 c/hectares was grown up. This educational pilot farm "Communard" of the Simferopol area (head Sergey Vasilyevich Petrenko – 51,1 c/hectares), DP "Ilyich-Agrokrym" JSC Mariupolskogo of iron and steel works of a name of Ilyich of the Krasnogvardeysky area (heads: director general Andrey Vasilyevich Ryumshin, executive directors Victor Aleksandrovich Storozhev and Andrey Grigoryevich Labunsky).
Here from the area more than 4 thousand hectares are collected on 52,6 c of grain from each hectare. Farmers of JSC Fruktovaya kompaniya of the Krasnogvardeysky area (head Igor Vasilyevich Lysy) received on 51,4 c/hectares from total area more than 900 hectares.
With average productivity from 40 to 50 c/hectares finished cleaning of 44 agricultural enterprises of the Republic, and 117 farms of all forms of ownership grew up and collected from 30 to 40 c/hectares of grain of early grain crops.
It is necessary to note that resulting effects of production of grain crops in many respects depend on harmonious and high-efficiency work of grain-harvesting equipment.
In the current year on thresh early grain crops worked 1352 Crimean kombaynovy crews. 37 from them achieved good results in namolote grain at high quality of works. From them on import combines (John-Dir, the Case, Klaas and of river) three crews threshed more than 3 thousand t of grain. The greatest namolot in this class of combines provided family crew of JV Oktyabrskoye of the Krasnogvardeysky area in structure: Vasily Mikhaylovich Budovsky – the combine operator; Mikhail Vasilyevich Budovsky – the assistant – 3915 t. On the average a class of combines of the Don-1200/1500 brand – six crews threshed more, than 2 thousand t. The highest indicator namolota in this class reached crews: from a farm "Elena" of the Krasnoperekopsky area: Don-1500: Valery Anatolyevich Topchiyenko – the combine operator, Oleg Ivanovich Desyatov – the assistant – 2882 t. Don-1200: Vitaly Anatolyevich Petrenko – the combine operator, Victor Vladimirovich Tkachenko – the assistant – 2016 t.
Didn’t strike in dirt with the person and our old "truzhenitsa" of "Field". Four crews of this class of combines threshed over 900 t. namolota grain the combine operator of "Field" from joint stock company of Kirov of the May Day area – Edem Kurseitov – 978 t achieved the highest.
However not all heads and experts in the Republic, engaged in production of grain crops, are worthy a high rank of the grain-grower. In a number of agricultural enterprises and farms in such favorable year so poor harvest is received, what the thought involuntarily arises, whether and the business these people are engaged? Below srednerayonny indicators grew up and reaped a crop early grain as a whole on the republic of 328 farms, and below srednerespublikansky level – 313 farms of all forms of ownership. In a farm Sapon and With ° the Lenin area (head Valentin Adamovich Sapon – 5 c/hectares), in SHP "Solar" of the Simferopol area (head Lyudmila Evgenyevna Eremenko - 7,7 c/hectares), in JSC Bento-Crimea of the Bakhchsarai area (head Vladimir Petrovitch Karavay – 10 c/hectares), in KFH "Ear-3" of the Razdolnensky area (head Nina Ivanovna Verstyuk – 10 c/hectares).
Here because of such "landowners" the Crimea unique in a steppe zone of Ukraine didn’t step in the current year over 30 tsentnerny boundary.
How we look among other regions of Ukraine? As a whole, among 25 regions of Ukraine, the Crimea on gross production of early grain crops takes the 14th place, i.e. golden mean.
And now about results of work of agro-industrial complex in 7 months of the current year. It is made gross output on 2419,5 million UAH. The gain to level of last year made – 120,8 %, including: plant growing production – 174,6 million UAH. – 145 %; animal husbandry – 1244,9 million UAH. – 106,1 %.
Among regions of Ukraine following the results of 7 months the Crimea took the 7th place. As you can see, dear colleagues to rest on laurels to us still early. The Crimea has real possibility to enter into ten the largest producers of grain in Ukraine, to return itself former glory of the second half of the eightieth years. We shouldn’t work by a principle, the known many, classical treatise – a step forward and two steps back. Each of us should set for itself a task for 2009 not only be fixed at the boundaries reached in the current year, but also to make let small, but a step forward, to a mark of 1700 thousand t of grain. And it is only +25 thousand tons on the Republic.
To reach put before us the Verkhovna Rada and Council of ministers of AR Crimea of tasks we can and at the expense of reserves of free lands available still, and increase of a level of responsibility at performance of agrotechnical operations of all elements of technology.
Today even more than a half of areas have a reserve of not used arable lands which are completely involved in agricultural production only in Soviet; Nizhnegorsky; Krasnogvardeysky and Kirovsk areas.
In the current year we can and should increase the areas of crops of winter grain crops to 556 thousand hectares (+50 thousand hectares).
It is necessary to give special attention to the conclusion of contracts on a ground lease. In the current year 111 agricultural enterprises didn’t receive the grant for crops of winter crops of a crop of 2008 on the area of 29,1 thousand hectares, in the sum of 2,9 million UAH. in the absence of properly issued documents on an ownership right, rent of the land lots. Therefore at crops on the crop’s eve of 2009 we urgently recommend to all tenants at whom ended the lease contract of the land lots, shares (shares) till completion of the state registration of lease contracts of the earth concluded for the new period by term more than one year, to conclude contracts on a ground lease term less than one years which is not subject obligatory state registration.
At meeting of Council of ministers the draft of the resolution on expansion of crops of winter crops of in proportion not used areas of an arable land is brought. We hope that regional administrations to it will treat with understanding and will direct the activity on involvement of investors, instead of on searches of arguments about impossibility of the solution of the matter.
Prior to the beginning of sowing of winter crops of a crop of 2009 there are 35 days. Priorities now – preparation of the soil, high-reproductive seeds, purchase of fertilizers and means of protection (protravitel), preparation and acquisition of sowing units.
What situation at us today with soil preparation?
As a whole, on the republic more than 76 % of the areas defined by the Resolution of Council of ministers of AR Crimea are prepared for crops. The main processing of the soil in only in the Black Sea area is in full carried out. Over 80 % of the areas provided under crops, agricultural producers already prepared: Belogorsky – 82 %, Dzhankoysky – 83 %, Simferopol – 86 % and Nizhnegorsky – 88 % of areas. Over 70 % of cultivated areas are prepared in Pervomaisk (78 %) and Saksky (73 %) areas. At the same time the slowest rates prepare the soil in farms of all forms of ownership of Kirovski (57,1 %) and Lenin (61,4 %) areas. As a whole, the Republic lags behind today on rates of preparation of the soil, in comparison with the similar period of last year on 16 thousand hectares.
Regional managements should develop week schedules of preparation of the soil in a cut of managing subjects with final term no later than September 20.
In a context of the matter I should direct attention to a problem of burning of straw and an eddish. The third year in a row we bring up a question of inadmissibility of this anti-ecological disgrace. Nevertheless, and in the current year a number of heads of agricultural enterprises and farmers, generally at night, set fire to fields, destroying not only living creatures, but also the forest belts which have escaped from cutting down. Time of arrangements ended, the Ministry will support the most cruel measures accepted by prosecutor’s office and Committee on conservation against such heads.
Once again I will remind that, burning straw, we on each hectare destroy nutrients for plants for the sum of 1800 UAH. And it without the burned-down humus, and it is invaluable.
Preparation of seeds
Taking into account expansion of cultivated areas it is necessary for us to increase and volume zasypki seeds. Them 102 thousand t in the current year is required. The crop from seed crops is already cleaned, now all managing subjects immediately should confirm volumes of actually prepared seed material and to intensify works on cleaning of seeds. Today only the Soviet and Nizhnegorsky areas according to the reporting provided 100 % zasypku in seed fund. In Dzhankoysky, by Kirovsk, Leninsk and Pervomaisk areas it is prepared from 83 % to 92 % of seed grain. In Simferopol – 14 %, Krasnoperekopsky – 17,2 % and Bakhchsarai – 20 % areas neglected this process.
With the accession of Ukraine to the WTO the Ministry of an agrarian policy of Ukraine an objective within five years completely to pass to the European standards and crops to carry out seeds of only the first reproduction. At us essential positive changes in the last two years were outlined in it. Specific weight of crops by high-reproductive seeds increased to 74 %. In it a considerable merit of our republican service of the seed farming headed by Andrey Vladimirovich Alekseenko and her regional structural divisions.
On the crop’s eve of the current year crops of winter grain crops should be carried out not less, than for 80 % of the areas by seeds not below the second reproduction. For this purpose we have all possibilities. Only seed-growing farms in the current year made more than 60 thousand t of seeds of the first reproduction.
It is necessary for regional managements, seed inspections, heads and experts of farms to increase rates of cleaning of seeds and to finish it till September 1.
Security with phosphoric fertilizers
In aggregate with other factors priposevny introduction of phosphorus is guaranteed increases productivity of winter grain crops on 2-5 c/hectares. Now it is necessary for us to buy 5500 t of phosphoric fertilizers in active ingredient. Today about 2900 t or 52 % from requirement are bought. Most seriously administrative bodies and managing subjects treated this question in areas: Black Sea – 88 %, Dzhankoysky – 87 %, Razdolnensky – 81 %;
The situation on providing with phosphoric fertilizers in Leninsk – 5 %, Pervomaisk – 10 %, Soviet – 16 % and Nizhnegorsky – 20 % areas is almost uncontrolled.
I want to remind all regional administrations and heads of farms of all forms of ownership that today it is possible to buy fertilizers cheaper, than they will cost in September when across all Ukraine the sowing campaign begins. Experience of last year confirmed it visually. In August, 2007 Superphosphate cost 1000 UAH/t, and in September – 1300 UAH/t or for 30 % are more expensive. In the current year the price for this type of fertilizers doubled.
Security with protravitel of seeds
It is necessary to note that fact that in the current year agricultural producers belonged to protection of crops of winter and summer crops against diseases, wreckers and weeds more seriously. Practically all crops of grain crops by the beginning of cleaning were in a pure condition. There were no outbreaks of fungoid diseases, for the first time over the last 10 years there was the most low interest of damage of wheat a bug a cherepashka (no more than 5 %).
Such purposeful work of specialists of the Ministry, regional managements of service of protection of plants, specialists of agricultural enterprises gave the chance to receive 70 % of a foodgrain of wheat from total amount of its production. In the current year any hectare of winter grain crops shouldn’t be sowed by not pickled seeds. For this purpose it is necessary to buy 74,3 t of protravitel, actually today in agricultural enterprises of the Republic is available their 40 t or 54 %. Completely provided the requirements with preparations managing subjects of Dzhankoysky and Black Sea areas.
It is not enough protravitel today at agricultural producers Bakhchsarai – 20 % and Belogorsky – 23 % of areas. The position of administrative bodies and heads of farms of the Nizhnegorsky area where security with preparations makes only 8 % from requirement is unclear.
Delay with acquisition of protravitel can as more expensively to manage in September-October.
About a situation in the grain market
So far in domestic market of grain financial interventions are carried out by only Agrarian fund of Ukraine at minimum prices: The 2nd class – 1418 UAH. for ton, the 3rd class – 1251 UAH. for ton, the 4th class – 1134 UAH. for ton, the 5th class – 967 UAH. for ton that has stabilizing effect on a price level on a foodgrain. At the same time, such price policy of the state operator in the market of grain doesn’t provide fully to agricultural producers compensation of full expenses at cultivation of grain grains of cultures and possibility to conduct expanded reproduction. In this regard, we at different levels repeatedly brought up a question of increase by Agrarian fund of Ukraine and Goskomrezervom of the prices for a foodgrain. As a result the Cabinet council of Ukraine reacted to our offers and the resolution from 06.08.08. No. 703 entered formation of the average prices of Agrarian fund of Ukraine following the results of three previous trading sessions at the Agrarian exchange or at the accredited commodity exchanges certificated by it.
Besides, the resolution of Cabinet council of Ukraine from 06.08.08 of No. 705 installed the state mortgaging purchases of a foodgrain, their order providing allocation by Agrarian fund of Ukraine of the budgetary loan on the security of a foodgrain at a rate of 80 % from the minimum purchase prices is defined. The mechanism of mortgaging purchases operates from July 1, 2008 to April 31, 2009. Thus, taken by the government of Ukraine measures allow to expand a range of possible mechanisms and the directions of realization of a foodgrain of a crop of 2008 and formation of the state food reserve.
As of 12.08.2008 the Regional office of Agrarian fund of the Autonomous Republic Crimea actually bought 8558 tons of a foodgrain, or 15,56 % from the finished task for the sum of 10 million UAH, is paid – 9,3 million UAH., or 92,9 %. This work in the Krasnoperekopsky area comes to the end, it carried out a task for 92,6 %.
Slow rates conduct work on formation of the state food reserve of grain of a crop of 2008: The Soviet area sold to regional office of Agrarian fund in the Autonomous Republic Crimea only 141 tons, or 3,73 % to the finished volume, by the Razdolnensky area – 244 tons, or 5,64 %; the Dzhankoysky area – 400 tons, or 6,8 %; Bakhchsarai – 31 tons, or 7,07 %; Krasnogvardeysky – 882 tons, or 10,3 %; the May Day area – 719 tons, or 15,0 %. Belogorsky and Lenin areas didn’t start at all formation of the state food reserve of grain of a crop of 2008.
The resolution of Council of ministers of the Autonomous Republic Crimea from June 3, 2008 of No. to 290 areas, the cities, JSC Krymkhleb, Krympotrebsoyuz finished volumes on preparation in regional resources of a foodgrain at the expense of means of local budgets, own means of the enterprises of a hlebopecheniye, agricultural enterprises, the hlebopriyemny enterprises and elevators in volume of 90 thousand tons.
As of 12.08.2008 in regional resources areas prepared 30,7 thousand tons, or 96 % to the finished volumes, by the cities – 8,7 thousand tons, or 22,3 %, Krympotrebsoyuz – 0,4 thousand tons, or 13,3 %.
In full didn’t provide foodgrain preparation in regional resources only two areas Belogorsky – 63,0 % and Lenin – 47,8 %. From the cities only Saki and the Pike perch for 100 % provided formation of not reduced three-months stock of a foodgrain. Conduct work on formation of regional resources of the city: Armyansk – 55,6 %, Simferopol – 41,8 %, Feodosiya – 11,6 %, Kerch – 6,1 %. Krympotrebsoyuz carried out the finished task for 13,3 %.
Didn’t start at all this work in the cities: To Alushta, Jankoi, Evpatoria, Krasnoperekopska, Yalta, doesn’t conduct it and JSC Krymkhleb.
As a whole, on the republic in regional resources 39,8 thousand tons of a foodgrain, or 44,3 % to not reduced three-months stock are prepared. And it in conditions when the objective reasons which wouldn’t allow us to create operatively regional resources and the state food reserve, having provided, thereby, food security of an autonomy, no.
