Input: " They did a good job this year, but they need good diesel and good engine oil, " said Ivan Odnosum. "

Input: The country's grain harvest this year is forecast to fall by more than 23 percent to only 28 million tonnes and two harsh factors are to blame.


Input: A drought scoured the steppes in May and June, stunting the growing wheat.


Input: And the farming sector, making the painful transition from Soviet central planning to a market economy simply has no money.

Soviet


Input: Ukraine's black soil is so fertile that a diplomat described it as " rich enough to grow rubber boots ".

Ukraine


Input: But recently Ukraine has been losing its reputation as a breadbasket of Europe, earned in the years before brutal forced collectivisation under Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

Input: We've never seen anything so bad, " he said in an interview in his office, unlit since the government cut off electricity because of unpaid power bills.


Input: The harvest is gathered in the dry areas, but rainfall in Western Ukraine has delayed harvesting there.

Western Ukraine


Input: While Mironivka's scientists, some unpaid for months, carry on developing new strains of wheat resistant to Ukraine's extreme continental climate, Borsuk said the lack of cash in Ukraine's agricultural sector is as bad as the drought.

Input: Collective farms and Ukraine's nascent private farming sector have no money for fertiliser, no money for herbicides and pesticides, no money to repair old or buy new machinery, no money for fuel, and none to buy good seed.

Ukraine


Input: This year's harvest is down from last year's 36.5 million tonne harvest, which in turn compares with 50 million tonnes in 1990, the year before independence.


Input: The decline is all the worse for people who recall wasteful Soviet times, when the Kremlin imported grain but priced bread so cheaply that people bought it to feed their pigs.

Input: " Agriculture is very expensive, and there are no solutions to our problems on the horizon, " said Odnosum.

Odnosum


Input: He said his farm, its 260 workers now readying the fields for winter wheat sowing, expected the land to yield 5.2 tonnes per hectare (2.5 acres) but ended up with 3.9 tonnes -- still better than the national average of 2.11 tonnes per hectare this year.


Input: " We did not have money for fertiliser, we're in debt for fuel, and we're borrowing diesel, " Odnosum said.

Odnosum


Input: A few kilometres (miles) down the two-lane road which passes Odnosum's farm, where the occasional horse-drawn buggy passes by, is the 1,700-hectare (4,200-acre) Shevchenko collective farm, built next to a village still neat and tidy despite post-Soviet decay.

Input: Chief Accountant Natalya Sypron said the collective is strapped for cash, earlier this year bartering 220 tonnes of grain for diesel to fuel six rickety grain combines and tractors badly in need of repairs and basic maintenance.

Input: The average family earns 160-200 million karbovanets a year ($800-$1,000) -- but many have not been paid in months, Soprun said. "

Input: People are working out of their own dedication. "


Input: Borsuk said the farm sector has two options: " We can sit down and cry, or we can do something. "

Borsuk


Input: He said the government plans to increase the sowing of the winter wheat which will be harvested next year.


Input: Planted in late summer and early autumn, the grain is Ukraine's largest export item and traditionally grows better than summer wheat in Ukraine's soil.

Ukraine

Ukraine


Input: Further plans, he said, called for full provision of resources like fertiliser and herbicides for 25 percent of Ukraine's arable land next year, for 50 percent in 1998 and 100 percent of the land in 1999.

Ukraine


Input: " If we follow this we'll be able to sell 10 million tonnes of grain by the year 2000, " Borkus said.

Input: The government has been trying to phase out huge subsidies to the farm sector, and in a move back to pre-Soviet days has given up to 50 hectares (124 acres) of land to some 36,000 private farmers willing to go it alone.

pre-Soviet


Input: Collective farms will last for the next few years, because most private farms now only produce enough to feed themselves with maybe a little extra to sell, said one private farmer: " In the future, maybe, but it's better not to hurry.


Input: " Collectivisation brought us a lot of pain.


Input: And it went too fast.


Input: Privatising too quickly can also have a negative outcome. "

Gencor Ltd


Input: Announcing the group's results for the year ended June 30, chairman Brian Gilbertson said: " Happily the strong improvement in financial performance is not an illusion arising from the recent weakness of the rand relative to the dollar. "

Brian Gilbertson


Input: Gencor raised attributable earnings to 1,803 million rand from 1,003 million rand previously-in dollar terms an increase to $469 million from $279 million-and won despite the group's Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd posting dismal results.

Gencor

Input: " Not everything has gone well.


Input: We've had substantial production difficulties at a number of our operations.

Input: Implats posted year attributable profit of 176 million rand from 281 million previously.

Input: " Gencor is well placed to take up the challenges of the future.

Input: The group is soundly structured and prudently financed and is blessed with an excellent portfolio of world-class businesses.


Input: I think we can look forward to further growth ".


Input: Citing the disposal of Gencor's stake in industrial holdings group Malbak Ltd for one billion rand among other smaller disposals, Gilbertson said Gencor had pruned its portfolio to concentrate on core assets.

Input: " We've tried to clean up our overall portfolio by disposing of non-core assets.


Input: The biggest of those was Malbak.

Input: leaving Gencor clearly structured along commodity lines, " Gilbertson said.

Gencor

Gilbertson


Input: He added that the group still had about 85 million rand after tax invested in various shares, which were market for disposal when required.


Input: Referring to Gencor's increased 41.5 percent stake in Ingwe, Gilbertson said the group would wait for coal shares to be cheaper before considering snapping up more.

Gilbertson


Input: " I think we would have liked to have more of Ingwe but it's the question of adding value.

Input: When we bought the shares we bought ...


Input: at quite a bit lower than the price is now ...


Input: maybe if we just wait another few years for the next downturn in coal. "


Input: Finally, Gilbertson said a growing proportion of Gencor's income was coming from offshore and unlisted investments.

Stich


Input: " But there are so many reasons to play, especially spectators and the kids who come out here and want to enjoy watching tennis, that I decided to stay. "


Input: In a break from tradition, the Open did not seed in strict accordance with ATP rankings, instead taking into account other factors that raised objections of favourtism toward U.S. players.
