# Ensuring the Country's Food Security

> Russian farmers are summarizing the 2026 harvest. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev expects 140 million tonnes of grain and 35 million tonnes of oilseeds, with oilseed harvesting nearly complete. Government support in 2026 focused on logistics and exports, including nearly 10 billion rubles in rail tariff subsidies and a minimum grain purchase price order effective 30 October 2026.

## Why it matters

A large harvest with state support for exports and logistics points to ample Russian grain supply, which tends to weigh on world wheat and oilseed prices. The effect is gradual and mostly already expected.
