Overview
- Vice Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev announced a final-season estimate of 137 million tonnes of grain in clean weight.
- Buckwheat output is forecast at about 1 million tonnes, which he said will fully supply processors and the domestic market.
- The soybean harvest is projected to exceed 8.5 million tonnes, according to Patrushev's interview.
- Authorities expect Rosstat to confirm record results for pulses, fruits and berries, rapeseed and soy, with formal statistics still pending.
- Late frosts, drought, heavy rains and early snow shaved several million tonnes off potential output, yet the estimate tops the earlier 135 million‑tonne outlook and compares with roughly 130 million in 2024, 143 million in 2023 and the 2022 record of 157.676 million.
