Farmers Irkutsk region, where this year also received a record harvest of grain crops, experiencing the same problems as the farmers of the Novosibirsk region and the Altai territory. As the correspondent of IA REGNUMgrown 860 thousand tons of grain with yields of 20 t/ha was unclaimed. Wheat 3 varieties in the Angara sell for 8-9 thousand rubles per ton, however, proposals for the purchase of "Agrobazar" could not be found.

Interestingly, despite the obvious crisis of overproduction, the Minister of agriculture Ilya Sumarokov said that the producers of the Irkutsk region in the future year will need to produce a grain not below the level of 2017.

"To perform the scheduled volumes subject to put into agricultural use of arable land will be sown not less than 440 thousand hectares of grain and leguminous crops", — quotes words of the Minister the official site of the Irkutsk region.

Such a policy, some farmers called strange.

"A strange situation: we invest heavily in the construction of storage facilities, procurement of equipment, and it turns out that our products do not need anyone — neither the state nor trading networks", — said the head of the large farms, Yuri N.

The sale of one kilogram wheat of the 4th class for 4 of the ruble in product cost 5.5 rubles per kilogram, he considers humiliating for the peasants.

"How to live farmers, as to return the credits?! Grain prices fell, and bread in the stores cheaper. Who is to blame?" — annoyed the farmer.

Well, that at least about another age — old question - "What to do?" — the authorities of the Irkutsk region, apparently, began to think.

"The question is: produce — made, and where to sell? So the next year we focus on processing. Currently, we analyze the grain market of the Irkutsk region. In today's economic conditions, modernization and technical re-equipment of existing facilities, the organization of new manufactures on processing of agricultural raw materials and food production is a strategically important area of the economy of Irkutsk region", — said the Minister of agriculture Ilya Sumarokov.

Similar work carried out now and in the Altai region. However, it is clear that the modernization and construction of enterprises processing cost money and without credit is necessary. But only in January 2018 Altai farmers should seek to interest payments more than 2 billion rubles. The market and grain prices is also formed below cost. Therefore, in 2018 the crisis in the grain market is likely to be further exacerbated.
