As of July 5, Russia harvested 9.7 million tonnes of animal forage feed.
According to the Ministry, the total demand for coarse and succulent forage for next winter is around 30mmt.
So far 2.6mmt of hay has been harvested, 6.4mmt of haylage, and 611kmt of silage.
Russia doesn't make much silage relying instead on hay and haylage to feed the national herd, both of which have lower feed quality.
