20.04.2006 15:33 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
As to State Statistics Committee, this year Jan-Mar fertilizers import (Group 31) has boosted to US$69.55 mn (up 2.9 times against US$23.89 mn in last year Jan-Mar).
Fertilizers import growth is quite possible to have occurred due to absence of Government programs targeted at providing agrarians with spring field works necessary fertilizers: domestic agrarians have been purchasing fertilizers (Ukrainian/imported) taking into account only their price/quality ratio.
As to Ministry of Agrarian Policy earlier report, as of Apr 13, agricultural companies had fed up winter grains with mineral fertilizers at 2,827.000 ha (of total planned 4,759.000 ha), down against last year similar 3,848.000 ha (of total planned 6,314.300 ha).
