Farmers start harvesting sugar beets

Belarusian farmers have started mass harvesting of sugar beets. Among the leaders in yield is the Grodno region, where about 500 centners are harvested per hectare. Due to the dry summer, harvesting this year began two weeks later than usual, however, all the work of the agricultural enterprise is planned to be completed strictly on time. In parallel, beets are being shipped to processing plants. The Skidel sugar plant has already produced the first batch of sugar from the new crop.
