Russia has harvested 108.3mmt of grains and pulses from 43.4mha (96.3%) with an average yield 2.50mt/ha.

This includes 61.6mmt of wheat from 23.6mha (97%) with an average yield of 2.60mt/ha;

barley - 21.0mmt from 8.9mha (99%) with an average yield of 2.35mt/ha;

corn - 10.0mmt from 2.2mha (84%) with an average yield of 4.53mt/ha;

sunflowers - 8.3mmt from 5.9mha (86%) with an average yield of 1.42mt/ha;

oilseed rape - 1.4mmt from 1.0mha (85%) with an average yield of 1.43mt/ha. I guess anything not harvested by now will have shed seed;

soyabeans - 2.3mmt from 1.7mha (87%) with an average yield of 1.36mt/ha.

Russian has all but finished planting with 16.4mha of winter grains (99.6% of planned area), up 1.89mha compared with the same date last year.
