Russia intends to retain the title of the world's best exporter of wheat in the new agricultural year and begin shipping meat to China and selling soybeans to Japan. Thanks to warm winters and spring rains in Russia, farmers can harvest 109.3 million tons of grain, breaking a record 108.2 million tons in 2008.
The active revival of agriculture requires replacing the old infrastructure, and, moreover, in the shortest possible time. Construction of agricultural buildings with the use of new technologies of pre-fabricated structures allows you to effectively solve this problem at minimal cost. Since pre-fabricated agricultural facilities of any complexity that meet the current standards can be built already by the time of harvest.
Russia plans to hold the title of the world's top wheat exporter in the new agricultural year, exporting 25 million tonnes of wheat. The wheat harvest is expected to reach 63.3 million tonnes this year, the second largest after harvesting 63.8 million tonnes in 2008. Last year, Russian farmers harvested 61.8 million tons. The barley harvest will also rise to 18 million tons from 17.5 million tons last year. The record corn harvest is expected to offset the fall in wheat and barley production from 2008 levels and, overall, reach a record grain harvest in 2016.
Russia will continue to expand its influence on the global grain market, not least due to the weakening of the Russian ruble. Russia began exporting grain in 2002, and since then has steadily strengthened its position in this area. Among the main importers of Russian grain are Egypt, Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Over the past few years, Russia has entered the grain markets of Africa and Latin America. At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia expresses hope that in 10 years the annual grain harvest in Russia will reach 120-130 million tons.
In addition, at the end of June this year, Russian supplies of poultry meat will begin to the Chinese market, and in the second half of the year, Russian beef will be exported.
