Regions gradually complete the harvest of food crops. At this stage we can say that in 2016 the state plan for the harvest will be not only met, but exceeded.

In particular, excellent results and shows the Volgograd region. To date, the region harvested a little more than 80% of fields - but the volume of grain already one and a half times last year's figure. Also scored Rostovka oblast and Krasnodar Krai.

Food harvest exceeded the plan

The yield of 2016 for the development of Russian agriculture is incredibly important. First, excess grain will fully meet domestic demand and also to minimize the volume of import. At the same time, wheat and rye can be exported to neighboring countries, which will allow to replenish the budget.
