Belarus new crop show high quality

The qualitative parameters of new crop grains in Belarus are high, according to Peter Solyankin, the Head of the State Grain Inspection.

According to the analysis, new crop grains have rather high level of gluten content, which is the main qualitative factor of Belarusian grains, influencing baking capacities.

For example, grains, which came from Mogilevsk, Brest and Grodnensk oblasts, have high content of gluten - 29%, 26% and 24% respectively. At the same time, gluten content of 3-grade wheat from the regions corresponds to the second quality group.

In the current year, agricultural enterprises of the country will pay more attention to grain cleaning, said the Head of the State Grain Inspection. Due to increased weed estimation of fields, the new crop grains face more impurities compared to the previous years.
