MOSCOW, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Russia, the world's largest wheat exporter, has harvested 84 million metric tons of wheat so far in 2025, RIA news agency reported on Thursday, citing Russian Agriculture minister Oksana Lut.

The ministry expects the total grain crop for the year to reach 135 million tons. With 114 million tons of grain already harvested, Lut said, the country was on track to meet the target.

IKAR consultancy forecast the 2025 wheat crop at 87 million tons and wheat exports at 44 million tons. Sovecon consultancy sees the wheat crop at the same level, saying it was helped by better-than-expected harvest in Siberia and the Urals.

Even as harvesting proceeds in line with expectations, Russian exports slowed sharply in year-on-year terms in August and September, with analysts pointing to low export prices as the main reason for the decline
