Tridge summary

In 2022, according to Rosstat, it set a record - 4.6 million tons. The demand for rapeseed for the production of oil and feed for farm animals provides the groundwork for a two-threefold increase in the production of this oilseed in Russia, the general director of the Association of Rapeseed Producers and Processors believes " RASRAPS" Sergei Tuchin. “The record harvest is actually a good basis for a further multiple increase in both the sown area and the gross production of rapeseed. The potential for growth of the rapeseed area in the country is up to 6-8 million hectares, and the harvest of spring and winter rapeseed is 10-12 million tons. The tasks, of course, are ambitious, but we have everything for this,” he said during the exhibition “ AGROS-2023”, which took place in Moscow on January 25–27. According to preliminary data from Rosstat, the sown area for rapeseed in the Russian Federation in 2022 amounted to 2.3 million hectares (+39.2% compared to 2021); gross crop harvest - 4.6 million tons (+63.2%), including winter rapeseed - 1.6 million tons.
