| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] In the Central Federal District (CFD), agrometeorologists predict a good winter crop this year, exceeding the harvest in 2021. Roman Vilfand , scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, spoke about this on June 7 . "Agrometeorologists of Roshydromet predict a good harvest of winter crops in the Central Federal District. Gross harvest is expected to be higher than last year. The fact is that the weather conditions were very good, the wintering went well too," reports the words of Vilf and TASS. The meteorologist stressed that the final forecast, which takes into account all factors, is provided by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. The harvest, in addition to the weather, is affected by the conditions of fertilization, harvesting and other circumstances. On May 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in 2022 the country could reach a record grain harvest, harvesting at least 130 million tons. As REGNUM reported , the spring sowing campaign is coming to an end in the Ryazan region. |

| #8 Hard to produce wheat in the winter. Ukraine stores were stolen. Ukraine wheat production will decline from 21 to 22. Mainly because a Russian invasion destroyed the economy. |

| #7 Ukrainian grain production has fallen off a cliff. The country is finished. It's basically a ward of the American state, like Afghanistan was before we bugged out last year. |

| #5 Russia and Ukraine together will still have about 25% of the global wheat export market, but the balance will go from 16-9 to 20-5 in favor of Russia over Ukraine. Ukraine's economy is dying. If the war continues much longer Ukraine will be dead. All the valuable parts of the country are now controlled by the Russians -- the valuable farmland, the mineral and natural gas reserves, the industry and ports. |

| #4 Actually, less grain for the US. And a LOT less grain for Ukraine and Europe. Meanwhile Russian production and market share are soaring. The US Department of Agriculture's latest report indicates a "worsening condition of the U.S. winter crop, deepening worries about supply in an already-tight market. “In 2022/23, a draw down in global ending stocks is forecasted (down 5 percent from 2021/22) as consumption exceeds production. Major exporters’ ending stocks are projected 10 percent lower than 2021/22 and would be the lowest since 2012/13 at 54.5 million MT.” Expected change in share of global wheat exports, 2021/2022 to 2022/2023: Russia: increase of 20% (will remain market leader with 20% of global wheat export market) Ukraine: decrease of 45% (will have only 5% of market) |
