"Production of grain crops and leguminous cultures is expected at over 50 million tons, which is 11 million tons up against the previous year," the ministrys statement reads.
The ministry estimates an export potential for next marketing year (July 2011 June 2012) approximately at 25 million tons against the earlier expected 23 million tons. To remind, several days earlier, the Hydrometeorological Center did not confirm the Agrarian Policy and Food Ministry forecast on the yield of grain crops at 50 million tons. «According to our estimates, total grain yield is expected at no more than 4647 million tons. A forecast of 50 million tons is very optimistic and it is not confirmed by us,» Head of Hydrometeorological Center Mykola Kulbida said.
