This graph shows the whole struggle for harvests and why this issue is still so important.

The first thing that catches your eye is the lack of any progress in the 19th century, when yields fluctuated around 4-5 cents per hectare, or in actual terms it meant that one thrown grain yielded 3-4 grains of harvest. And only before the First World War there was some progress, when the harvest “sam-3-4” became the harvest “sam-5-6”.

Second. Very large fluctuations in yields caused by regular droughts and other disasters such as severe winters when winter crops freeze out. It is so clearly visible how before the Tsar famine of 1892-93 there were several lean years, and before the famine of 1933 there were two years of failure in a row. But the crop failure of 1936 no longer had such catastrophic consequences.

Third. Putirasts will clearly rejoice at the noticeable increase in yields in recent years. Here they see exclusively the victory of capitalism over socialism. Here you need to understand that the Soviet rate of increase in yields gave the same result and this result was given without the current destruction of agriculture throughout Russia, except for the grain-growing southern regions, which are now aimed not at providing their livestock with grain, but exclusively for export.

So this is not a victory over socialism, but a victory over our own rural population European Russia, left as a result of this approach without work and any prospects for the future. All this combined with

Crop production in Russia - main industry Agriculture countries. The total volume of crop production produced in all categories of farms (the commercial sector, which includes agricultural organizations and peasant- farms and non-profit sector - households) in Russia in 2015 in in value terms was estimated at 2,636.8 billion rubles. Compared to 2014, the cost of crop production increased by 18.6% or 414.3 billion rubles.

Sustainable development of crop production in Russia is carried out only through the industrial (commercial) sector. The total volume of crop products produced by agricultural organizations and farms in the Russian Federation in 2015 increased compared to 2014 by 306.5 billion rubles (23.5%) and reached 1,611.1 billion rubles.

Concerning non-profit sector – households of the population, then the cost of manufactured products here in 2015, compared to 2014, increased by 11.8% to 1,025.7 billion rubles. Taking into account the fact that the average inflation rate in the Russian Federation in 2015 was 12.91%, we can talk about stagnation and a slight decrease in the cost of crop production in the non-profit sector.

Crop industries

The main branches of crop production, according to the production classification, include the industry for growing grain crops (wheat, barley, rye, triticale, corn, buckwheat, rice, sorghum, millet), leguminous crops (peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas), the industry for cultivating oilseeds (sunflower, soybeans, rapeseed, camelina, mustard), sugar crops (in the Russian Federation - sugar beets), potato growing, vegetable growing (open ground, protected ground), horticulture, melon growing, industry for growing spinning crops (flax, cotton, hemp ), fodder crops.

Crop production in Russian regions

The largest contribution in value terms to crop production at the end of 2015 was made by the Krasnodar Territory.

The value of products produced in the crop production industry of the Krasnodar Territory in 2015 amounted to 242.4 billion rubles, which is 17.5% higher than in 2014. The share of crop production in the Krasnodar Territory in the total value of crop production in Russia was 9.2%.

Second place belongs to the Rostov region, where the crop production industry produced products worth 155.2 billion rubles, which is 20.8% higher than a year ago. The share of the region's crop production in the total cost of crop production at the end of 2015 reached 5.9%.

Crop production of the Voronezh region is in third place with a share of 5.0%. The total value of crop production in the region is estimated at 131.2 billion rubles, an increase compared to 2014 by 30.4%.

In fourth place - Stavropol region with a share of 4.5%, where they collected crop products worth 119.8 billion rubles, which is 17.6% higher than last year’s levels.

The Republic of Tatarstan closes the top five leading regions in crop production with a share of 4.0%. Over the year, the value of products produced in the republic’s crop production industry in actual prices increased by 18.0% to 104.7 billion rubles.

Cultivated areas of Russia

The total area under crops in Russia in 2015 was 79.3 million hectares, in 2016 - 79.43 million hectares.

As for long-term trends, compared to the period of 20 and 25 years ago, the size of the areas decreased significantly - by 22.7% and 32.6%, respectively. In the late 1990s, early 2000s. In addition to the reduction in sown areas, the output per unit area—yield—has also fallen, which has increased the overall decline in the harvest volumes of most types of crops. Since the mid-2000s. In addition to restoring the size of cultivated areas, with the introduction of advanced technologies in the growing process, crop yields also increased significantly. For many types of crop products (wheat, sunflower, corn, soybeans, rapeseed, rice), gross yields significantly exceeded those of the early 1990s.

Structure of sown areas in Russia

In the structure of cultivated areas in Russia, wheat ranks first, accounting for a third of all areas in 2015 (33.8%).

Also, significant areas are accounted for by such crops as barley (11.2%), sunflower (8.8%), oats (3.8%), corn for grain (3.5%), soybeans (2.7%) , legumes (2.0% - mainly peas), rye (1.6%), sugar beets (1.3%), rapeseed (1.3%), buckwheat (1.2%).

A high share of the total sown areas is occupied by forage crops (annual and perennial grasses, corn for livestock feed, sugar beets for livestock feed, other crops) - 21.4% of all areas in 2015.

In the graphs, information on the sown areas of potatoes, vegetables and melons is presented only for agricultural organizations and peasant farms, without taking into account households. Data on other crops are presented for all categories of farms.

Grain production in Russia

Production of grain of all types in Russia in 2015 amounted to 102,429.1 thousand tons, which is 34.4% or 26,244.0 thousand tons more than 10 years ago.

Growing wheat in Russia. The volume of wheat production in the Russian Federation in 2015 amounted to 61,785.8 thousand tons. Over 10 years, wheat harvests increased by 29.8%. At the same time, the area under wheat during the period under review increased not so significantly - by 5.9%. The increase in the gross yield of wheat, as well as most other crops, is largely due to increased yields.

Wheat production in Russia 2016

Gross yields and sown areas of wheat in 2016 increased compared to 2015. According to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, the sown area of winter and spring wheat in Russia in 2016 in farms of all categories amounted to 27,694.7 thousand hectares, which is 3.2% or 861.2 thousand hectares more than the 2015 crops.

By November 1, 2016, winter and spring wheat throughout the country had been threshed from an area of 27,166.8 thousand hectares or 98.1% of the sown area. 75,797.3 thousand tons of grain were threshed (in 2015 - 63,841.0 thousand tons), with a yield of 27.9 c/ha (in 2015 - 25.1 c/ha). Gross yields increased by 11,956.4 thousand tons or by 18.7%.

Review Russian market rapeseed, rapeseed oil, cake and meal in 2014-2016.

When looking at long-term trends, rapeseed seed yields have increased significantly. Over 10 years they increased by 3.7 times. Investment attractiveness cultivation of rapeseed is primarily due to the high demand for rapeseed oil in world markets. In addition, there is a steady demand for rapeseed cake, both from foreign buyers and in the domestic market.

The decrease in indicators occurred in the context of a reduction in sown areas (by 14.3%) and yields. In turn, the reduction in acreage is largely due to weakening prices for rapeseed oil on world markets.

Key regions for rapeseed cultivation (TOP 10 regions): Kaliningrad region, Tula region, Stavropol region, Republic of Tatarstan, Lipetsk region, Ryazan region, Tyumen region, Krasnodar region, Kemerovo region and Altai region.

Potato production in Russia

Gross potato yields in Russia in 2015 in the industrial potato growing sector ( industrial sector form agricultural organizations and peasant farms, excluding households) exceeded 7,500 thousand tons (record volumes), which is 2.4 times more than in 2005. Compared to 2014, the figures increased by 22.3%. The supply of potatoes in 2015 significantly exceeded demand, resulting in a collapse in wholesale prices.

Russian potato market. Forecast for 2016

The potato market in 2015 was characterized by:

Expansion of the area under industrial potato cultivation, which amounted to 360.2 thousand hectares, which is 12.3% more than in 2014;

A significant increase in the import of seed potatoes for the 2015 planting season;

A slowdown in the supply of early potatoes to the market due to rainy weather in the Krasnodar region during the harvesting period, as a result of which an increase in prices was observed at the end of June. At the same time, in the Astrakhan region, where the weather was dry, sales of early potatoes, in conditions of a temporary suspension of harvesting in the Krasnodar Territory, were carried out at higher prices than previously expected;

Gross harvests have been record high over the past 15 years - almost 7.6 million tons were collected in the industrial sector (agricultural organizations and farms, excluding households). The increase in harvest volumes was caused not only by the expansion of sown areas, but also by an increase in yields;

A noticeable reduction in the volume of imports of food (table) potatoes against the backdrop of the introduction of trade restrictions from a number of countries, as well as due to the devaluation of the ruble;

Due to the growing investment activity of the potato growing industry, in particular, a number of projects have been announced for implementation and are being implemented to modernize, expand and create new capacities for storing and processing potatoes. There has also been increased investment activity in the field of seed potato cultivation.

The Russian potato market in the first quarter of 2016 is characterized by:

Record low prices at both wholesale and retail levels. Usually, from mid-November, potato prices have a seasonal upward trend. In 2015, from October to December, producer prices, according to AB-Center, in the key growing region - the Bryansk region - remained at the level of 7.5-8.0 RUB/kg excluding VAT (in 2014 during this period they grew from 8. 5 to 10.0 RUB/kg).

In January-March 2016, prices not only did not tend to grow, but also continued to decline. By mid-March they dropped to a record low of 6.0 RUB/kg. For comparison, in mid-March 2015 prices were 13.0 RUB/kg. Thus, over the year they decreased by 53.8% (see periodic studies of the potato and vegetable market from AB-Center);

Fall in supplies of imported food (table) and seed potatoes to Russia;

A significant increase in prices for vegetable nets in which potatoes are packaged for sale. According to the company New Age of Agricultural Technologies CJSC (the largest supplier of vegetable netting in the Russian Federation, Tian Zhen brand, a key domestic manufacturer of drip irrigation systems, Neo Drip brand), this is due to the devaluation of the ruble;

An increase in the volume of exports of food potatoes from Russia.

Investments in potato storage imply increased profitability of trade in the off-season. Potato storage is unprofitable in 2016. Potatoes were stored for storage at higher prices than are currently sold. In the Bryansk region, purchases of potatoes for storage in the fall of 2015 were carried out at an average of 7.5-8.5 RUB/kg. By March 25, 2016, sales prices for potatoes from storage facilities fell to less than 6.0 RUB/kg.

The only way to avoid serious losses in conditions of overproduction is to expand the export direction. Russian potatoes in the first quarter of 2016, in conditions of ruble devaluation and low prices on the domestic market, are highly competitive in world markets. As of February 2016, exports of potatoes from Russia for the 2015 harvest amounted to 200 thousand tons (exports for the period from June to February).

To stabilize prices, export shipments of potatoes from the Russian Federation had to be at least 400 thousand tons more. The main obstacles to expanding exports are the lack of well-functioning logistics, unified export purchasing centers, poor diversification of supplies to foreign markets sales, a small number of key export directions.

Potato market forecast in 2016

It is expected that the supply of early potatoes (May-July) on the market will exceed last year's levels, however, the main volumes of harvests will be lower than in 2015. Farmers intend to slightly reduce the area under cultivation in order to avoid an oversupply of potatoes and low prices.

In addition, in 2015 there was a record yield per unit area. Under less favorable natural and climatic conditions, the gross harvest will decrease more significantly than the planting area will decrease. The average corridor of forecast indicators for industrial (commercial) potato harvests in 2016 is 5.5-6.5 million tons.

It should be noted that during the 2015 planting season there was a significant increase in import supplies of seed potatoes. In 2016, in the context of the devaluation of the ruble, a decrease in the volume of imports of high-quality seed material is expected, which may also affect the yield downward.

Vegetable production in Russia

Gross yields of open- and protected-ground vegetables in Russia in 2015 in the industrial sector of vegetable growing (the industrial sector is formed by agricultural organizations and peasant farms, excluding households) amounted to 5,312.2 thousand tons, which is 14.1% more than in 2014 and 83.2% more than 10 years ago (in 2005). The increase in fees in recent years is due to the release of a significant market share due to a fall in import volumes (suspension of the import of vegetables from a number of countries, devaluation of the ruble). In 2012-2016 There has been increased investment activity in the construction of vegetable storage facilities and greenhouses.

Due to favorable weather, this year's grain harvest could break the 2008 record of 108.2 million tons.. According to the Bloomberg news agency, citing general director ProZerno company Vladimir Petrichenko, in 2016 Russian farmers will harvest about 109.3 million tons of grain. This will slightly mitigate the decline in the production of barley and wheat, part of the harvest of which was destroyed this winter. The harvest volume of these crops is expected to increase compared to last year.

However, not all forecasts for the grain harvest in 2016 are so high. About 100-102 million tons of harvest, provided there are no droughts or disasters, is assumed by Igor Pavensky, deputy director of the strategic marketing department of the Rusagrotrans company. According to him, the possibility of drought in the spring in the southern regions of Russia and, as a result, a small amount of precipitation, cannot be ruled out, but it is premature to predict anything.

Russia’s position in the world grain market is strengthening every year. Referring to data from the American agricultural department, The Wall Street Journal predicts that in 2016 Russia could become the largest grain exporter in the world. This is facilitated by a record harvest and the strengthening of the dollar. In this regard, Russian grain has become more accessible to many countries.

According to the Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev, in the next 10 years Russia can increase the amount of grain exported to 50 million tons per year. Already in the current agricultural year, grain exports will increase by 3 percent.

The world economy is experiencing another crisis, this fact also affects Russian economy including. But despite this, the cost of grain crops on the world market is gradually strengthening. Unfortunately, the process is going quite slowly, and so far the price of wheat is not very pleasing to Russian exporters. The decline in wheat prices has continued for the last four years and this year they reached their lowest possible level. Experts do not advise waiting for a significant increase in prices, since the industry is passive, but the price may rebound upward due to the weather factor.

The Russian Ministry of Agriculture has already approved the minimum prices for the purchase of grain for the 2016-2017 harvest. The corresponding order has already been signed by Alexander Tkachev and is under consideration by the Ministry of Justice. Prices for all regions of Russia are the same: class 3 wheat - 10,900 rubles per ton, wheat 4th class - 10,400 rubles, wheat grade 5 - 8,800 rubles, food rye - 7,400 rubles, price for feed barley - 8,000 rubles, corn - 7,900 rubles per ton.

The cost of rye and wheat remained at the same level. Price changes affected only barley and corn.

In the Republic of Bashkortostan, it is predicted to harvest a harvest equal to last year’s or even more. To date, about 3 million tons of grain crops have been harvested. As reported by the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of Bashkortostan, most of the harvest is winter wheat; the harvest of winter rye also met expectations. In addition, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic Irek Mukhametdinov reported on the great potential of the region and the prospect of a harvest of 4 million tons of grain annually.

Grain harvest in Krasnodar region in 2016, it broke all last year's records. More than 9.8 million tons of grain crops have already been harvested from an area of 1 million 697 thousand hectares. This is approximately 12% more than last year. As in Bashkortostan, winter wheat turned out to be the leading crop. Due to the record harvest this year, a harvest festival was held in Kuban and the best workers in the agricultural industry were awarded.

And in Volgograd region The grain harvest is already exceeding the most optimistic forecasts of agronomists. To date, more than 4 million tons of grain have been collected there. The yield is on average 24% more than last year and the highest in the last 5 years. Last year was not as successful due to soil drought.

Another record holder for the amount of grain harvest is Crimea. Ministry of Agriculture Republic of Crimea reported that last year's harvest was more than 2 times higher. At the end of the harvesting campaign, 1.4 million tons of grain were collected. Every second ton this year is planned to be sold outside the peninsula, since Crimean feed grain is of interest not only Russian companies, but also Iran and Türkiye.

According to the general director of the analytical company ProZerno, such a good harvest was facilitated by a warm winter and heavy rains in the south of Russia. Let us remind you that the harvest in 2016 broke the record for the number of crops harvested for the first time in eight years.
