Harvest Campaign 2024 Begins in Russia
Harvest Start: Grain harvesting has started in the Stavropol region, initially in its eastern territories.
Area and Preparation: Over 2.4 million hectares are planned for harvesting, with all necessary machinery, resources, and personnel ready.
Climate Impact: Adverse spring weather conditions have lowered harvest forecasts by 17-20% due to a dry period followed by rains and cold snaps.
Damage Assessments: Some areas have reported hail damage affecting about 9,000 hectares, but losses are partial thanks to effective anti-hail services.
Regional Expansion: Harvesting has also begun in the Krasnodar region, starting earlier than usual due to a warm early spring.
Crop Coverage: In Krasnodar, 2.5 million hectares are set for harvesting, with the largest area under winter wheat.
Equipment and Resources: The regions have mobilized over 40,000 pieces of agricultural equipment and have ample fuel supplies.
Conclusion: Despite climatic challenges, preparations and resources are in place for an extensive harvesting campaign across key agricultural regions in Russia.
