Russian agriculture is entering a new cycle: the main thing is not production volume, but technologies and efficiency. But where can we look for reserves if we cannot indefinitely increase productivity and productivity while reducing costs? Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut answered this question in an interview with the expert and said how exports increased and how grain logistics was rebuilt. Between the possibilities of modern technologies and how they are implemented in practice, there is still a gap. You cannot engage only in breeding and expect that a new variety will provide a high yield: you need to take into account the condition of the soil, nutrition and plant protection, machinery, working time. By 2030, labor productivity in the industry is planned to increase by 12.6% to the level of 2023. Even complicated acid is a food safety issue." The basis of sustainability for years is our production and technology. If individual seeds, animal husbandry, veterinary drugs or that social acid only come from outside, the risks remain. Revenues increase, even if the physical volume of goods exports decreases, due to products with high added value. In 2025, its share in exports reached 48%, and the export of such products increased by 12%, almost up to and #036; 20 billion. From the beginning of the year another 7% were added, the volume of shipments reached $15 billion. Mineral fertilizers: silver exports increased, concrete decreased. For 9 months the increase in monetary terms was 16.6%, and in physical terms it decreased by 4%. According to Lot, the difference is due to the increase in world prices. The local market remains the absolute priority: farmers are fully supplied with fertilizers for seasonal field work. Russia is once again disrupting grain export logistics, increasing the burden on Baltic and Caspian ports. Read the full version of the interview on the website 😀 Allexperts here and at Max.
