Russian Farmers Flock to Sunflowers and Rapeseed Amid Wheat Shift

Russian farmers are shifting their focus from wheat to sunflower and rapeseed, according to UkrAgroConsult's AgriSupp platform. For almost 30 years, UkrAgroConsult has provided market intelligence for grains and oilseeds, with a database that serves as the basis of the platform.

The change in crop selection raises concerns about oversupply risks in the Russian agricultural market. Sunflower and rapeseed are oilseed crops, which could lead to an increase in production levels.
