"The spring sowing campaign is the most important stage of the agricultural year, on which the fate of the future harvest largely depends," emphasized the head of the regional executive committee. "Based on the results of work in 2024, the growth rate of gross production in crop production was 112.4 percent compared to the 2023 level."

The task for 2025 is to ensure the volume of gross production in agricultural organizations of the region at 107.0 percent of the previous year's level, including crop production – at least 115.6 percent.

The meeting will also discuss the topic of reforming agricultural organizations in the region. Participants of the meeting will visit the machine yard of OJSC "Dubrovno Rayagropromservice".
