The grain crop in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar, the country’s main cereal-growing area, was unharmed by a deadly weekend flood, according to the local agriculture ministry.
Damage occurred across less than 2 percent of the area sown with grains and other crops in the flooded zone, spokeswoman Yekaterina Melnik said by phone from Krasnodar today. In statistical terms, that means the local crop was left intact, she said.
