Russia produced 72.7% more grain than it consumed in 2025
Russia produced 72.7% more grain than it consumed in 2025, according to calculations based on national statistics.
The figures cover Russia but exclude the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
Grain self-sufficiency topped 100% in 47 regions, meaning those regions produced more grain than they consumed.
The highest levels were in Karachay-Cherkessia, at 465.9%, and Stavropol Territory, at 419.6%.
The national self-sufficiency rate has fallen since its 2022 peak of 191.4%, reaching 173.5% in 2023 and 152.4% in 2024.
Grain production matters because it shows how much of the country’s demand can be met by domestic harvests.
Russia expects a 2026 grain harvest of 140 million tonnes, with 90% of grain areas harvested by early October and more than 126 million tonnes collected.
The figures describe the 2025 balance and the 2026 harvest outlook; no further steps are specified.
Russia’s grain production exceeded domestic consumption by 72.7% in 2025, according to calculations based on data from Rosstat.
Grain self-sufficiency was above 100% in 47 regions.
The highest regional rates were 465.9% in Karachay-Cherkessia and 419.6% in Stavropol Krai.
The national self-sufficiency rate fell from 191.4% in 2022 to 152.4% in 2024.
The figures exclude data from the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics and Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
