Mung beans account for the main part of the Kogon-yogh agroeksport enterprise’s order. The enterprise concluded agreements with nearly 400 farms and peasants’ holdings on this. Its partners are sowing mung beans in 3,000 hectares of land feed up from cereals. They are being given advance payments amounting to 40 per cent of the sums specified in the agreements.
