An oilseed alternative to wheat - not everything is as rosy as we would like! The low margins of the grains have been an alternative in recent years to the expansion of the areas under oilseeds. According to the operational information of the Ministry of Agriculture (available in the village hours system) as of October 21, taking into account new regions in Russia, the area under sunflowers was harvested on 72% of the arable area, under turnips - on 88%, under soybeans - on 74%. Moreover, it should be noted that the soybean harvest in the key region - the Far Eastern Federal District - only exceeded 50%. The hit of the season is the turnip, which, against the background of good market conditions and active demand, is rapidly increasing the scope of production and, like sunflowers, already covers almost the entire area of ​​the country. The rapid growth of areas under sunflowers was planned both by high prices and good experience in its cultivation. Soy showed back! After last year's bumper crop and falling buying prices, its production volumes have fallen - a normal response to overproduction, especially given the tariffs that almost prohibit its exports. There is no sales market. No production. The harvest is still going on, and the risks of buns are gradually increasing: a considerable part was sown late, and it is possible that some of them will go to the spring harvest; There are also periodic talks about quality. Just like with turnips, the limiter is China's stance on the presence of GMOs. A common limiter is logistics. The collapse in the Black Sea greatly reduced shipping capacity. Alternative channels are gradually being established, but it takes time and costs money, which will of course be taken by reducing the purchase prices. Independent expert A. Corbot.
