🇷🇺Russia produces far more than it needs to ensure its food security

🌾According to Rosstat, grain production last year exceeded domestic consumption by 72.7%. In 2024, when weather conditions were more challenging, the surplus stood at 52.4%.

📈Russia’s total annual needs—for flour, animal feed, industry and the state reserve—are approximately 82 million tonnes. Last year’s harvest rose to 141.2 million tonnes. The math is simple: the country had a surplus of 59 million tonnes.

🌍These surpluses allow Russia to retain its position as the world’s leading wheat exporter, shipping 50–60 million tonnes abroad each year. The 2026 harvest is forecast to be similarly high, at around 140 million tonnes.

❗️In 2026, the gross harvest is once again expected to reach a strong level—around 140–141.8 million tonnes—keeping the surplus at roughly the same level as in recent years.
