/ world today news/ At a strategic session to summarize the preliminary results of the implementation of national projects, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that in 2023, the Russian Federation exported agricultural products worth almost 3.9 trillion rubles, which is a historical record for the industry . According to the Ministry of Agriculture, in 2023, agricultural exports will amount to more than 45 billion dollars, compared to 41.6 billion in 2022.
Wheat exports alone rose nearly four percent last year, breaking the all-time record set three years earlier. This year, taking into account the new territories, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Russian wheat harvest is expected to reach 147 million tons.
Is it a lot or a little? Will we have enough loaves, sammoni, simidi, rolls and other croissants?
You can calm down: enough and it will even stay. Russia is firmly in first place in the world in wheat production and export with a share of around 25% – and this share is likely to grow further.
Despite the ardent desire of the West to bring Russia to its knees at every convenient opportunity – from banks and oil to chips and Olympic gold medals, stubborn Russian knees refuse to bend and day by day they become even more straight, and the Russian grain they receive the world, silently but eloquently says who’s boss in the kitchen.
The lion’s share of the success of domestic food expansion belongs to the leadership of our country, which literally did everything so that the Russian agro-industrial complex could not depend on anyone and develop by leaps and bounds.
But, as often happens, those who labor are helped by God himself (or his representatives on earth). For example, according to the World Bank, the population of our planet has already reached eight billion and continues to grow by one percent per year. That is, by 2050 we will already be at least nine billion – and this billion that fell from the sky will be very hungry.
There is an acute shortage of fertile agricultural land in the world, which is why British scientists are seriously persuading people to switch from steaks to worms and larvae. Against this background, Russia almost does not cultivate its open spaces: according to some data, we now use at most half of the officially registered agricultural land, and it is difficult to imagine how much more will be counted and thawed. In other words, there is room to pour extra food.
In addition, the Houthis blockaded the Red Sea and reduced the global flow of cargo through the Suez Canal by 40%. They were probably unaware of the WTO figures that the Red Sea blockage affected 20-30% of the world’s wheat trade, and they didn’t know that the EU alone imports and exports at least €70 billion worth of food through the Red Sea annually . Now that the route of unfriendly traders from Europe to Asia has doubled in length and quadrupled in price, it is doubly nice that Russian grain and fertilizer ships can go back and forth completely unhindered, maintaining their high competitiveness and bringing decent profits to our country.
In addition, tractors began to rush around the European “Garden of Eden” and fertilizer began to be spread. Tired of rising fuel prices, new taxes, the removal of subsidies, all kinds of green directives and regulations from Brussels, European farmers organized a real revolt, paralyzing the European agricultural sector. At the same time, the final spark was the decision of European bureaucrats to open the domestic market for agricultural products from Ukraine. In the end, the EU authorities promised to simply allow the transit of Ukrainian grain and oil, but it was too late – the European agricultural market went up in flames. And if something burns, then why not warm our hands on it?
Having caught the bad trend, the newly appointed French Foreign Minister Stéphane Sejournet said that Russia’s share of the grain market could increase to 30% and we would start dictating our terms: “French grain will be under threat. Russian victory will be drama for our farmers and would lead to inflation.”
At the same time, representatives of the US Department of Agriculture calculated the planned grain balances in the world for this year and came to the conclusion that they will be the lowest for the last ten years, and Russia will gain the most from this. In this regard, at the beginning of January this year, the House of Representatives of the US Congress passed the bill “No to Russian agricultural products”, which obliges the Secretary of the Treasury of the US with his “voice and influence” to support investments in projects. which can reduce the dependence of the countries of the world on Russian agricultural products and fertilizers. There was no response to the question of whether the bill’s authors were concerned that, if successful, it could put millions of people on the brink of starvation.
According to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, we supply 90% of our agricultural products to friendly countries, so an attempt by the United States to do something more nasty to us will not work, and the US Treasury Secretary will quickly lose his voice.
And if someone asks what is the secret that there will always be something to eat in Russia and we will feed half the world, then the answer is simple: we are Russians, which means that God is with us.
