OREANDA-NEWS  Grain harvest in Russia, according to preliminary statistics, amounted to 128 million tons in 2024, and final data is expected at 130 million tons, Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut said at the All-Russian Agronomic Meeting.

"There were frosts, there was a drought, rains during harvesting. This did not prevent us from collecting the fifth-ever grain result. So far, according to statistics, we have 128 million tons. We will receive the final data from Rosstat in March. We expect it to be 130 million tons, as we planned at the beginning of the season," said Luth.

The very first data on grain harvest in net weight (after refinement), which was released by Rosstat in December, amounted to 124.96 million tons, while the bunker weight was 130.4 million tons.
