Russian Agriculture News

It is a shame the west does not have a free media to find out such information and deliver it to the public as a public service to keep the public informed on facts instead of press releases from the various propaganda outlets like the US state department.

Question: How much agricultural productivity have the New Regions added to Russia?

I've read once that Luhansk and Donetsk both have around 3 million hectares of of arable land which is more than the arable land in Sweden.

The west is crazy due to their big investments on the Ukrainian agriculture .

As example the US Cargill and EU Agrofusion have thrown a lot of money on Kherson lands .

Agrofusion has built Hola Prystan factory with 4,000 mT Processing capacity of fresh tomatoes per day.

The UK DANCROFT HOLDINGS LIMITED has invested in Processing soybeans which produces soybean oil powder and olive oil .

The Kherson region has about 2 million hectares of agricultural land and is the largest share of plowed fields in Ukraine.

You can bet your backside the safest job in the Ukraine is on a farm owned by an American company... no conscription for you.... those crops need to be harvested and that is all that matters.

Those Ukrainian food exports through the EU is US farms making money while the sun shines...

Russia set for record grain exports – minister, 05.22.2024.

Newly appointed Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut expects foreign sales to reach $45 billion this year.

Cross-border sales of grain produced in Russia will hit an all-time high this year, Russian Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut has said, adding that exports are expected to reach some $45 billion in monetary terms.

Speaking during a plenary session on food security at the international ‘Russia’ exhibition forum, Lut said the country had exported $43.5 billion worth of grain last year.

“We have great prospects for the export of crop products this year,” she said “We seem to be setting a record pace for the export of our grains.”

Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country’s agricultural sector must increase exports by 50% by 2030 compared to figures recorded in 2021. Back then, the country’s exports of agricultural produce amounted to $37 billion.

Grain exports are expected to rise to more than $55 billion by 2030, according to Lut, who said the ministry also expects Russian farmers to boost production by 25% within six years in order to meet the president’s targets.

The minister has called for a decrease in production costs, which would help Russian farmers to become more competitive on international markets. She also said the sector was yet to resolve the problem of providing exporters with domestic dry-cargo carriers.

In March, Putin said Russia was the world’s fourth-biggest exporter of agricultural produce, and number one in terms of wheat sales. However, he highlighted the need to boost the production of tomatoes and certain other types of produce with a view to decreasing reliance on imports.

Russian food exports have surged in recent years due to bumper harvests and attractive pricing, despite Western sanctions that have hampered the country’s foreign trade. Moscow has also been supplying free grain to a number of African countries that are facing food insecurity.

Earlier this year, the head of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture’s Agroexport center, Dmitry Krasnov, said Russia has been exporting around 250 types of agricultural produce to more than 100 countries around the world. He said China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Algeria and Indonesia were among the most important markets, while exports to Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and former Soviet states were expected to increase in the near future.

Of course if the Russians take over, then that farmland will be confiscated anyway. So sooner or later they'll conscript the workers there too, and the workers at every enterprise.

They are sending disabled people and women to the front before they are allowed to send those farm workers gathering those American crops... and when the farms get overrun will those workers retreat into Orc controlled territory or remain on the captured territory... they were not in the army and they were not armed... technically they are civilians, so as the Russian forces advance through their farm the change in ownership might lead to a violent period where the Orcs try to shell the fields and cover them in cluster munitions to make harvests a bitch, but Russia does not have conscription like Kiev does... at worst you get conscripted and sent to the far end of Russia to do your conscription time... you can't do conscription where you live if there is a war on there.

But don't you love the irony that the farm boys get out of this war... most of the time it is farm boys joining the army to get away from the farm on which they feel trapped... like the US example during Vietnam...

Right now in the Ukraine they've started conscripting prisoners. As those start to run out, they can take the guards and put them into the army too.

Yes, that will only get worse but the only people with the power are the ones supplying money and they are supplying money to make money... it is the only reason companies and the very rich donate to politicians and political parties... to get favours that allow them to make 1,000 times more money than they donate... rich people are not stupid and don't do things to be nice or appear to be nice.
