Russia has harvested around 135.393 million tons of grain, including 85.9 million tons of wheat, during the current growing season.

This is a million tons more than the previous record. Russia’s agriculture ministry revised its projections for exports, with 50 million tons of grain now expected to be shipped abroad.
