Russian Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut announced that Russia expects to export 60 million tonnes of grain in the current marketing year (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026). This follows a 2025 harvest of 144.6 million tonnes, allowing Russia to maintain its position as the world's leading wheat exporter.
Rusya Tarım Bakanı Oksana Lut, 2025-2026 tarım sezonunda 60 milyon ton tahıl ihraç etmeyi beklediklerini açıkladı. Buğday ihracatının %82'si Afrika ve Orta Doğu'ya yapılıyor.
Russia has secured the right to export compound feed to China following the signing of a protocol by Russian Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut and Chinese customs official Sun Meijun. This agreement, reached during President Putin's visit to Beijing, outlines veterinary and sanitary requirements for Russian feed producers entering the Chinese market.
Russian Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut stated that late sowing this year mirrors 2022 conditions when Russia achieved a record grain harvest of 157 million tons. The spring campaign faces challenges due to abnormal weather with heavy precipitation, preventing farmers in the Volga Region and parts of the south from accessing fields. However, the minister emphasized that farmers are technically and technologically prepared, with weather windows now opening in central Russia.
