The grain harvest of Crimean farmers will be seriously affected by a drought, the Ministry of Agriculture of the region reported.
"If in 2017 the gross grain harvest amounted to 1.6 million tons, this year we will collect about 800 thousand tons - an average of 15 to 19 centners per hectare, and if there is no precipitation, these figures may be even lower," the head of the department, Andrey Ryumshin says, TASS reports.
