Rosstat reported a significant decrease in grain sales in June 2025. In June, sales amounted to 2,806 million tons, which is 34.5% less than last year. In the first half of the year, agricultural organizations sold 21.476 million tons of grain, showing a decrease of 32.9% year-on-year.
Experts attribute the drop to the off-season: farms were selling off the remnants of the old crop, and the new grain had not yet entered the market due to quality analysis, paperwork and logistics processes.
At the same time, export performance remains stable. Over the past agricultural year, 53 million tons of grain were sold to 108 countries. In 2024, the supply geography expanded to 11 new countries, and seven more returned to the market. Despite the stable position of exports, a prolonged drop in sales may negatively affect producer incomes and budget revenues.
