The mechanism of commodity (sale of grain from the state intervention fund) and procurement (purchase of grain by the state) interventions has been operating in Russia since 2001. It is aimed at stabilizing prices on the grain market and supporting agricultural producers. With a sharp rise in prices, the state sells grain from the state fund and thereby stops the rise in price, with a fall in prices, it removes excess grain from the market in order to stop its cheapening.
Previous grain interventions were purchasing. They were held from August 1 to December 30, 2022. 3 million tons of grain were purchased for more than 47 billion rubles.
