Russia's grain harvest may increase 53 percent from last year to reach 93 million tons after drying and cleaning if the weather is favorable, the country's Grain Union said.
The wheat crop is seen at 55 million tons, with about 60 percent of milling quality, and the feed barley harvest is expected to be 16 million tons to 17 million tons this year, Arkady Zlochevsky, the union's president, said Monday.
This year's harvest is expected to be a record for crops such as sunflower seeds with 9 million tons to 10 million tons, corn with 6 million tons, rice with more than 1.2 million tons and soybeans with more than 900,000 tons, Zlochevsky said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
