The President of the RZA (Russian Grain Union), which is Arkady Zlochevsky, said at the press conference to reporters that severe frosts that took place at the beginning of the year, in no way, will affect the expected crop of grain. In total, it is planned that in 2012 94,000,000 tons of grain will be collected, while this figure may, under the most favorable conditions, grow up to 100,000,000 tons (since this year more fertilizers were made and more seeds were purchased).
