The governor of one of the largest agricultural regions of russia announced the loss of a third of the harvest

Crop losses in the Rostov region this year due to weather conditions may amount to about 30%, Governor Vasily Golubev said.

"A couple of days ago, I introduced a high alert mode. And this mode is the threshold of the emergency mode. According to my estimates, taking into account communication with the villagers, I see a loss of about 30% of the harvest."

Due to early spring in the Rostov region in March, almost all crops sprouted, in April there was hot weather, and in May frosts struck, which led to the loss of 210 thousand hectares. Now there has been no rain in the region over the past two months.

May frosts damaged the harvest in almost all of central russia. Frosts destroyed the strawberry crop in the Bryansk, Kursk, Lipetsk and Rostov regions, where industrial production has been established. In this regard, suppliers are preparing to raise prices at least twice - that year 1 kg of these berries cost about 3000 rubles. And since strawberries are widely used in confectionery, prices for cakes, pastries, jams and preserves will also increase. In addition, this berry is used in pharmaceuticals - in the production of drugs for hypertension.

Bad weather damaged the harvest of apples, cherries and black currants. Due to problems with the harvest of apples and berries, russians should prepare for an increase in prices for baby food and juices as well. These products may rise in price by 30%.

Sources in the Ministry of Agriculture reported that the damage from frosts in May exceeds 10 billion rubles.

No need to panic, comrades. Remember the wise words of your Minister Oksana Lut: "We see no difficulties: If the harvest is low, we just will have less."
