Winter crop in Russia is expected to be below the level of 2020

The mild winter in Russia has significantly improved the condition of winter crops. Now the share of bad and non-emerging crops has decreased to 7-9% against 22% announced in November, an absolute anti-record compared to the 2020 indicator of 4%.
Nevertheless, due to dry autumn weather at the beginning of the growing season, the wheat harvest in 2021 compared to last year's record level might be 7 MMT lower.
