Azarov tells IMF mission about good grain harvest

This year, the government expects to collect a grain harvest by 10-12 million tons more than in 2012, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said during a meeting with head of the IMF mission in Ukraine Nikolay Georgiev on Thursday, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine reports.

"We expect a good harvest this year. I think we will get the grain harvest by 10-12 million tons more than last year," Azarov said.

However, he reminded that Ukraine has signed a number of long-term contracts for the grain export, which will greatly increase the foreign exchange revenues to our country.
