Russia has harvested more wheat and fruit this year compared with the same period last year, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said, pointing to broader gains across the country's agricultural sector, according to TASS.
"Incremental growth is also in place for fisheries and for production of pork and eggs," Mishustin said, according to the report, suggesting the improvement was not limited to crop farming alone but extended to livestock and aquaculture output as well.
The prime minister's comments were made in the context of a broader review of the agricultural sector's performance this year. TASS did not report specific tonnage figures or percentage increases for the crops and products mentioned.
Agriculture has remained a closely watched sector in Russia, both for its role in domestic food security and for its importance to export revenue, particularly for grain. Russia is among the world's largest wheat exporters, and shifts in its harvest levels can have knock-on effects on global grain markets.
Further details on the full scope of this year's harvest, including comparisons across other crops, were not immediately available.
