CCI: grain harvest in Russia in 2025 will not exceed 120 million tons

Winter crops are in difficult conditions, but there is hope for a favorable spring, the academician said. My forecast is that if we collect 120 million tons of grain, it is very good. Perhaps we will go lower, it is already worse, Chekmarev said at the forum "Grain of Russia - 2025" in Sochi. So far, weather conditions are unfavorable for winter crops. But farmers expect conditions to improve in the spring. “Russia is preparing for spring crops. It's going to be a tough year. If the spring is early, then it precedes a drought, a dry year, Chekmarev said. Meanwhile, the costs of farmers for spring sowing are growing. Prices for all resources have increased significantly. “Unfortunately, farmers purchased 70 thousand tons less mineral fertilizers than on the same date last year.” At the same time, the price increased by 3-6% depending on the type of fertilizer. Ammophos is already 52 thousand rubles. per ton, fuel - 50 thousand rubles. per ton. Not everyone will buy higher reproduction seeds. And the purchase of highly reproductive seeds is a very important issue, Chekmarev said. In general, the costs of farmers for spring field work will amount to 1 trillion rubles, including more than 100 billion rubles. will be spent on the purchase of seeds. In Russia, it is possible to harvest 200 million tons of grain per year, sowing 50 million hectares for grain crops. "But we don't need it yet. The optimal volume of grain production is 130 million tons, when we can put in bins, and send some for export, the academician said. According to preliminary data of Rosstat, grain harvest in 2024 amounted to 125 million tons (without data for new regions). The Ministry of Agriculture believes that taking into account the new regions, the harvest will be 130 million tons. The head of the Ministry of agriculture Oksana Lut said that the grain harvest in 2024 will preserve a significant export potential and ensure domestic consumption. In turn, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev noted that the grain harvest in the amount of 130 million tons will guarantee the food security of Russia.
