Persistent warm temperatures reduced yield potentials
The bulletin on Russia reports that after a difficult start to the season, marked by a dry and warm autumn, and followed by a severe cold spell around mid-March, subsequent favourable spring conditions helped the non-damaged winter cereals to recover, leading to fair yield expectations at the beginning of summer. However, the exceptionally warm conditions that prevailed throughout the summer, in large regions accompanied by persistent rainfall deficits, negatively affected the flowering and the yield formation stages of winter crops and spring cereals. Only south-western regions are expected to achieve good yields. Considering the country as a whole, the yield of wheat (of which Russia is one of the world’s main exporters) is expected to be almost 12% below last year’s level and 8% below the 5 year average. In contrast, for grain maize, which is mainly produced in the south-west, the outlook is very positive, close to record levels.
