Russian market - Wheat Demand and Supply Dynamics: Trend Analysis - Fork Cast

Research in agriculture includes optimizing plant nutrition management using microscopic particles of rocks. This will help improve soil quality, fertilizer efficiency, add micronutrients, and reduce dependency on chemicals.

The study will examine the impact of the powder on crops and soil, as well as the content of micronutrients. This is important due to soil degradation and nutrient deficiencies.

An accredited center has received a sample of wheat for analysis based on various criteria. Laboratory tests are being conducted to determine the grain quality, with established standards and limitations. The assessment of the 2025 harvest is being carried out in the Rostov region and the Republic of Kalmykia. State monitoring will be free of charge until October 10, 2025. The Federal State Budgetary Institution is preparing for the harvest and monitoring activities.

Harvesting has started in the Kuban region. Farmers have already harvested more than 35,000 hectares of grain, with plans to harvest 1.7 million hectares of winter crops. 40,000 machines, including 8,000 combines, are involved in the work.

The region annually produces more than 10% of the grain crop in Russia. In 2024, 13.8 million tons were harvested.

In Kuban, a rich wheat harvest is being gathered. It is planned to start harvesting in early July using 12 combines and 13 trucks. The Gulkevichsky breeding farm is provided with fuel and materials for successful harvesting due to efficient land use.

The issues in tomato production are due to vulnerability to diseases, including ToBRFV, which causes brown wrinkled fruit. Vegetables by Bayer company has introduced new tomato hybrids with genetic resistance to ToBRFV, designed to ensure safe and high-quality yields.

The importance of gardening in the Russian agro-industrial complex was emphasized at the meeting where successes and development goals were discussed. Stavropol Krai stands out with significant progress - the area of orchards is growing, yields are increasing, and nursery capacities meet global standards.

India extends duty-free import of Canadian yellow peas until 2026. China has imposed a 100% tariff on peas from Canada due to a trade war. The export of yellow peas to China has decreased, so access to the Indian market becomes important for Canada.

Russia will also start supplying peas to India, creating competition for Canadian farmers. Canada may reduce prices to maintain its market position.

Rosselkhozbank plans to use cryptocurrencies for trading grain. The bank is exploring the possibility of using digital assets in collaboration with the Central Bank. Futures trading for cryptocurrency has been launched, structured bonds have been developed, and digital assets have been issued by other banks.

Early spring crops, sugar beets, rapeseed, and sunflowers have been successfully sown. The completion of sowing late plants is near. Losses from spring frosts in the Kursk region amounted to 250 million rubles - Gennady Babaskin.

Employees of the Product Safety Evaluation Center in St. Petersburg are fighting the dangerous Sosnovsky's hogweed using the herbicide imazapyr. The plant is toxic and widespread on millions of hectares in Russia.

To combat it, a comprehensive approach is recommended: agronomy, chemistry, and biology. Prevention and monitoring of the spread foci are also crucial.

Specialists from China have discovered that DNA methylation in rice plants helps them adapt to cold weather. A study published in the journal Cell revealed epigenetic changes that increase plants' resistance to cold temperatures. As a result, a new rice breeding strategy has been developed to combat climate change.

Cucumbers in a greenhouse require fertilizers for rapid growth and excellent taste. It is recommended to use compost or manure to enrich the soil. Feed with nitrogen at planting, phosphorus during flowering, potassium at the fruiting stage. Use organic and mineral fertilizers for a better yield.
