In Russia, as of September 30, 106.4 million tons of grain and leguminous crops were threshed from 40.6 million hectares, in particular:

• wheat-74.5 million tons from 26.5 million hectares or 93% of the area with a yield of 2.81 t / ha,

In the United States, as of September 27, corn was harvested on 18% of the area, and soybeans – on 16%, compared with 15% and 13%, respectively, on average over 5 years.

In Europe, prolonged rainfall delays harvesting, especially in France, where corn is threshed on only 2% of the area, up from 31% last year.

On September 30, the European Commission raised its forecast for wheat production in the EU in 2021/22 MG from 127.2 to 131 million tons(117.1 in 2020/21 MG), but lowered it for corn from 71 to 68.8 million tons.

In Canada, dry weather will also prevail this week, which will speed up the harvesting of soybeans and corn.
