    Foreign media news on October 19: Agricultural consulting agency SovEcon said that Russian wheat production may increase to 80.
    7 million tons in 2022, an increase of 6.
    9% from the 75.
    5 million tons in 2021 because of good weather conditions in winter wheat producing areas
    .
    Russia is the world's largest wheat exporter and mainly supplies wheat to the Middle East and Africa
    .
    Russia competes with the EU and Ukraine for market share in these markets
    .
    SovEcon general manager Andrei Sizov said that Russian farmers have been facing some challenges recently, such as government control, rising prices of production materials, and dry weather in late summer
    .
    But now the weather has begun to improve, and sufficient rainfall in early autumn will help improve soil moisture
    .
    Winter wheat is currently in its best condition in recent years
    .
    SovEcon predicts that the sown area of ​​winter wheat and spring wheat in Russia in 2022 will be the same as last year, about 28.
    7 million hectares
    .
    Winter wheat accounts for about 70% of the total wheat output, and its yield is higher than that of spring wheat, and it is less affected by bad weather
    .
       According to the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, Russian farmers have planted 15.
    3 million hectares of winter cereals (harvested next year), down from 16.
    6 million hectares in the same period last year
    .
    There is currently no exact winter wheat planting data
    .
       SovEcon said that the winter wheat sown area is expected to decrease, but the proportion of freezing deaths between December this year and February next year will drop sharply, which will help offset the impact of the decline in the sown area
    .
       However, SovEcon pointed out that the sown area of ​​spring wheat will be reduced because the replanting area will decrease after the winter, and export tariff policies have also prompted some farmers to switch to other crops or choose fallow land
