According to the regional territorial inspection, on October, 17 grain storage facilities in Northern Kazakhstan accepted about 1 million tons of grain harvest of 2012, the correspondent of IA “Kazakh-Zerno” said.
Previously our agency informed there are 53 licensed grain reception centers in the region, which are able to accept 3.5 million tons.
According to recent reports, utilization of regional grain elevators, including last year’s state reserves, is close to 65%, which is 2.2 million tons. The share of grain from new harvest is 1.2 million tons.
A small amount of new grain in regional elevators means that farmers harvested dry crop this year, explained in the department.
We remind, growers of North Kazakhstan region harvested 4 million 951 thousand tons of grain in 2012.
