AM: This year’s corn yield is a historical record
He added that the significant increase was due in part to the fact that extremely high rainfall in the early summer period hit areas sown with corn and sunflowers across the country at the perfect time.
The increase in yields is also favorable because there was less area sown with maize than in previous years; this year’s 8.3 million tonnes of harvest is roughly the same as the average of previous years, he pointed out. It is estimated that roughly 2 million tonnes of the 8.3 million tonnes of maize will be exported, he added. (MTI)
