Russia is set to have an excess of sunflower and corn seeds for the upcoming sowing season, with estimated surpluses of 6.7 and 10.2 thousand tons, respectively. This surplus is expected despite a zero quota on imports from unfriendly countries. Agricultural producers are urged to purchase seeds and choose a supplier in advance due to concerns about winter crop survival, which may require reseeding. A new policy will distribute seed quotas only to companies with a proven track record of deliveries, aiming to prevent past issues where quotas were distributed to inactive suppliers.
