    html" class="zdbq" title="Wheat-related food information" target="_blank">wheat production in Russia in the 2021/22 season (July to June of the following year) is expected to be significantly lower than this year's record level because of crop damage in the central and Volga regions.
     
    According to the consulting agency Agritel, Russia’s winter wheat and spring wheat production (including the Crimea region) in 2021/22 is expected to be 74.
    7 million to 82.
    6 million tons, with a median value of 78.
    6 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of more than 7 million tons.
     
    For comparison, in November last year, Agritel predicted that Russia's wheat production was 78.
    9 million tons.
    The dry weather in autumn at that time affected the wheat yield potential in the 2021/22 season.
     
    Subsequently, there were differences in crop conditions in various parts of Russia.
    In southern Russia, due to sufficient rainfall in winter and spring, the temperature dropped in March, which helped the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions to replenish soil moisture.
    However, the winter weather in central Russia and the Volga region is dry, causing crop losses as much as 50% to 80%.
    At present, many arable land needs to be replanted, and many of them will be replanted with spring wheat, which may cause Russia's winter wheat production loss to hit a record high.
     
      Russia’s winter wheat sown area is expected to decrease to 15 million hectares, a 10% year-on-year decrease, but close to the five-year average.
    However, the average yield of winter wheat has been revised up to 3.
    9 tons per hectare, which is higher than the 3.
    77 tons per hectare predicted in November last year due to improved crop conditions in the southern region.
     
      The weather has become hot and dry again, which may further affect the production of the 2021/22 season.
    According to the International Institute of Climatology and Society, there is a 50 to 70% chance that the precipitation in southern Russia from June to August will be lower than normal.
