About 30% of the cereals have been reaped in Basarabeasca district so far, the district's head Ilie Cernautan has told Info-Prim Neo. “The rape was harvested. The harvesting of barley is close to an end. The reaping of wheat goes on. Unfortunately, the heavy rainfall affected the cereal production as the grains started to sprout,” Ilie Cernautan said. The rain affected both the quality and quantity of the reaped wheat. The content of gluten is low so that the wheat will be used as forage not in baking. The average quantity of cereals per hectare in Basarabeasca is 2-2.5 tonnes.
