The share of wheat in the total harvest was 70 percent (77.3 million tons), barley - 16 percent (18.6 million) and corn for grain - about 7 percent (million tons). Other crops include sunflower, rapeseed and soybeans.

In addition, Russia has grown the sugar beet crop: 27.1 million tons, 5.4 million tons of potatoes, as well as 3.7 million tons of outdoor vegetables. Indicators by type of crops are generally in line with or ahead of last year's level.
