In the south of the country (Turkestan region), on crops of thermophilic crops (soybeans, cotton), the phase of "maturation of the 1st box raw" continues in cotton, the phase of "the second stage of maturation" is noted in soybeans. The condition of the plants is mostly good and excellent.
In the Zhetysu region, harvesting began on sugar beet crops in the middle of the decade. Corn crops in Almaty, Zhambyl, Zhetysu and Turkestan regions are experiencing a "full ripeness" development phase. The condition of the plants is mostly good, in some places excellent. In the vicinity of the Talgar weather station in the Almaty region, harvesting was blunted.     Harvesting has begun on rice crops in Almaty and Kyzylorda regions.
