BELARUS (28 May)
Latest reports indicate that aggregate cereal harvest will be just over 5 million tonnes, which is about one million tonnes under the 2002 harvest. Relatively cold winter and spring have compromised barley and rye, the two main cereal crops. Aggregate cereal harvest estimates include some 1.8 million tonnes of barley, 1.4 million tonnes of rye and more than one million tonnes of wheat.
