Plant cultivation
In 2006, 517,0 thousand hectares were occupied with crops on the farms of all the

concentrated in the agricultural organizations, 14% - on the individual farms, 7% - on
farms (including individual owners). Bad weather on the territory of the region during the
ripening and harvesting period led to the loss of the crops and to a decrease in the plant
cultivation production volume. According to the data of Agriculture and Foodstuffs
Department, 48% of grain-crops, 46% of flax, 53% of potatoes, 60% of perennial herbage

after the revision (59% to the level of 2005), 458,8 thousand tons potatoes (105%), 120,6
thousand tons of vegetables (94%). In the structure of grain growing the main crops on the
farms of all the categories are oats and spring barley, they take 67% of the croppage.
Flax fibre production decreased by 3 thousand tons (65%) and made up 1,6 thousand tons.
Agricultural organizations remain the main producers of grain (74%) and flax fibre
(81%). 26% of the grain croppage, 99% of potatoes and 95% of vegetables fall to the share
of farms of the population and farmers.
The crop capacity of grain-crops has increased by 1,8 centner (by 13%) and made up 15,7
centners a hectare of the harvested area (by weight after the revision). The crop capacity
of the open soil increased by 0,5% in the region in 2006 and made up 184,2 centners a
hectare on the farms of all the categories including agricultural enterprises – 123,8
centners a hectare. They gathered 107,9 centners of potatoes a hectare, by 9,8 centners a
hectare (by 10%) to the level of 2005.

livestock. The cattle livestock on the farms of all the categories decreased by 12,8
thousand heads (by 7%) during the year including cows – by 9,1 thousand heads (by 8%).
The swine livestock increased by 22,3 thousand heads (by 25%). The cattle livestock
