Farmers in Russia, one of the world’s largest wheat exporters, sowed their winter grains for the next year campaign during dry weather this autumn, mainly in southern regions.
“However, the share of sowings in good condition is not at lowest since 2013. Maybe it is not a bad sign for the future crop,” -he added.
About 78% of the sowings are in a good or satisfactory condition, – said the weather forecaster.
Sovecon, another agriculture consultancy in Moscow, expects the condition of part of the sowings to improve due to rain and warm weather, – said Andrey Sizov, head of Sovecon. He expects about 9% of the sowings to be lost after winter, compared with 5% in recent years.
Sovecon expects Russia to harvest between 79.2 and 82.8 million tonnes of wheat in 2021 compared with 85.3 million tonnes in 2020. IKAR forecasts the harvest at 78 million tonnes.
Farmers sowed winter grains on 100.6% of the originally planned area, or 19.3 million hectares, compared to 18.2 million hectares in 2019.
