Almost 22% of winter crops in Russia are in poor condition

Due to the high price of wheat, Russian farmers increased sowing areas of winter crops by 1 million ha to 19.2 million hectares, however, due to the dry weather of recent months the crops are in poor condition.

 

According to the Roshydromet, as of 25 November set the record for number of stairs that are not received or are in poor condition. By 4.28 million hectares, or 22.3% of the areas sown seedlings in poor condition, and 2.42 million hectares of shoots at all.

 

since 2002, when they started to publish the data about the condition of crops on 25 November, the worst performance was only in 2014 when on this date the share of crops without a ladder or in a poor state was 15.6% or 2.57 million hectares of sown of 16.43 million hectares In November 2015 such was 11,1% in 2005 – 12%, and in other years this figure did not exceed 10%.

 

In the North Caucasian Federal district in poor condition are 40% of crops in the South – 36%. However, the Director of "Prozerno" Vladimir Petrichenko believes that the seedlings may emerge later and even reach the normal state. But in the Central district, where in a poor state right now 17% of crops, seedlings that are still not received, no longer appear, especially black earth region.

 

Overall, the country is in a good condition only 51% of winter crops, which is very low. On this date in 2019р. such was 78%, and in 2018р. – 66%.

 

This situation impairs crop prospects for 2021. Despite the fact that some of the crops from the poor state will be performed, a satisfactory percentage of losses and write-offs will increase. Moreover, for 2 weeks expected cold weather with little precipitation.

 

the Area where winter crops will die, of course, you can preseat, however, be aware that the yield of winter wheat was significantly higher than spring. In addition, likely to reseed such areas will be not grain, and sunflower, given the current prices for it. So in 2021 it is expected to reduce grain yield.

 

Such data will support wheat prices at a high level until spring, when it becomes clear the fate of winter crops after wintering in Russia and other producing countries.
