Grain harvest in Russia exceeds 120 million tons, wheat reaches 90 million
As field operations continue for the 2026 season in Russia, the world's leading wheat exporter, total grain production has surpassed the 120 million ton threshold. In an official statement issued by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, it was announced that wheat production accounts for 90 million tons of the overall harvest. While the volume harvested is more than sufficient to cover domestic consumption at full capacity, logistical constraints at Black Sea and Sea of Azov ports continue to slow down the pace at which this high yield is converted into exports.
