Will Belarus become grain exporter?

According to Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Ivan Bambiza, Belarus may turn from grain importer into grain exporter. The reason of such a statement was stable work of agrarian sector for 4 years as well as results of the harvesting campaign this year. As for September 1, 2007, the enterprises of the Republic harvested 7.43 mln tonnes of grain in bunker weight, up 900.000 tonnes as compared to last year. For the moment, they are harvesting maize. Taking into account this grain, they should exceed the gross yield of 2004, the most yielding year.
