The amount of land (in hectares) sown annually with forage crops for silage can be estimated from these data. Areas sown with maize are excluded from the calculations to focus on other key forage plant species. The rows present indicators for the entire Russian Federation, as well as for individual federal districts and constituent entities, including the Republic of Crimea. The data covers two calendar years, presented in the columns for 2024 and 2025
Chart of sown area of forage crops for silage in Russia, excluding maize
Rosstat data for 2024–2025. Rows: 208, periods: 2. Unit of measurement — excluding maize. Breakdown: Russian Federation — all categories of farms; Central federal district — all categories of farms; Belgorod Oblast — all categories of farms; Bryansk Oblast — all categories of farms; Voronezh Oblast — all categories of farms and others
Russian Federation — all categories of farms: the indicator fell from 132.1 to 102.2 for 2024–2025 — by 22.6%. Of the 24 largest rows, 9 increased, 15 decreased
Rows in the table are categorized by territory, allowing for a comparison between national aggregates and data for specific districts and regions. Compare values across different years within a single row to observe changes in sown area, or select different regions within a single year to analyze their contribution to the national total. This approach facilitates understanding which constituent entities hold the largest areas for silage crops and how resources are distributed among them
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Russian Federation — all categories of farms (132.1), Central federal district — all categories of farms (16.8), North-Western federal district — all categories of farms (10.5), Southern federal district — all categories of farms (7.57), North-Caucasian federal district — all categories of farms (3.59). The gap between the highest and lowest is 37,730 times. The top five account for 85% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual; there are 2 periods in total. 50 of 50 possible values are filled (100%) — almost no empty cells remain
Data for 2024 and 2025 are published as part of agricultural status bulletins. The information is updated and covers all categories of farms nationwide. These figures are useful for agro-holdings and forage base planning specialists to estimate feed production volumes for future periods
How it is calculated
Data on sown areas, yield and livestock are used in planning raw material procurement, crop assessment and forecasting food prices
