Govt not forcing anyone to sell wheat, agri minister says

Ljubljana, 8 July - As the government's announcement that the state will buy this year's entire wheat output has brought some confusion to the market, Agriculture Minister Irena Šinko said "we are not forcing anyone to sell to the state". However, activities are already under way to buy wheat, as the harvest is ending, she said after Friday's government session.
