The IKAR consulting firm in Russia has increased its forecast for 2025 wheat production to 86.0 millions metric tons from the previous 85.5 million, according to a report released on Tuesday.

It also said that it has raised its forecast for wheat exports to 43,0 million metric tonnes from 42.5 millions metric tons.

Dmitry Rylko (head of IKAR) said that the upward revision in the forecast was due to higher yields, particularly in the Central and Volga region.

Rylko stated that difficult weather conditions in Siberia during harvesting are considered to be a risk factor, but have not been taken into consideration in the forecasts.

IKAR reported that its total grain crop forecast for 2025 was raised to 132.8 millions metric tonnes, from 132.0, and grain exports forecast increased to 55.0, from 54.5, million metric ton.

Dmitry Patrushev, Russia's deputy prime minister, said last Friday that the official Russian grain crop forecast remains at 135 millions metric tons. Russia has harvested over 85 million metric tonnes of grain. This includes 64 million tons wheat.
