On the territory of such regions of the Transbaikal Territory as Kalgan, Krasnokamensky and Priargunsky, for a long time not a drop of rain fell.
In combination with the scorching sun, this led to the fact that over twelve percent of grain crops perished on the expanses of the noted municipalities.
In hectare equivalent, losses amount to over thirty thousand. And today, the region’s authorities have come close to resolving the issue of introducing an emergency regime on the territory of the region.
Meanwhile, in the vastness of the Amur Region, climatic conditions have already compelled the government to establish a regime of extreme situations - the region is overcome by drought, or unusually heavy rains.
According to representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Amur Region, today over twenty thousand hectares with grain and legumes have died as a result of flooding in the region.
Experts believe that such volumes of losses can negatively affect the total soybean crop in the Russian Federation. Indeed, it is precisely the Amur Region that accounts for over forty percent of the all-Russian crops of this crop.
According to analysts, the amount of damage caused by bad weather to agriculture in the Amur Region is at least five hundred million rubles.
