Overview
- Vice Premier Dmitry Patrushev told President Vladimir Putin that grain yields are about 10% higher than in 2024.
- The government is maintaining a full-year grains forecast of roughly 135 million tons.
- Wheat output is projected at about 88–90 million tons based on estimates from Patrushev and Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut.
- About 128 million tons of grain have been collected in gross weight so far, according to the agriculture ministry.
- Export receipts are up in most categories in 2025, but grain exports have declined due to low world prices, and officials say demand remains with potential for a rebound if prices improve.
