Changes in sown areas in Russian agricultural organizations
Areas under major agricultural crops directly impact production volumes and national food security. This dataset provides data on sown areas in agricultural organizations, broken down by total area and specific crop groups. This includes areas for cereals and legumes, as well as winter cereals. Figures are in hectares

Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2020–2026. Series: 91, periods: 7. Breakdown: Total sown area — Sown areas of agricultural crops…; Grain and leguminous crops — Sown areas of agricultural crops…; including: winter grain crops — Sown areas of…; of which: wheat — Sown areas of agricultural crops…; rye — Sown areas of agricultural crops (cont’d) and others
Total sown area — Sown areas of agricultural crops…: the indicator decreased from 52,678 to 51,859 over 2020–2026 — by 1.56%. The highest value was 53,735 (2022), the lowest was 51,859 (2025). This is an average annual decrease of 0.26%. Up to 2023, the change was +0.71%, after that −2.25%. Out of 25 largest series, 5 increased, 20 decreased

How to read this table
Table rows are categorized by crop type and annual data. Comparisons can be made between total sown areas and the distribution structure across different crop groups. Note changes in cereal sown areas, as they form the foundation of the country's agricultural production. Trends in the increase or decrease of areas for specific crops can also be observed
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Total sown area — Sown areas of agricultural crops… (53,735), Grain and leguminous crops — Sown areas of agricultural crops… (30,783), spring grain and leguminous crops — Sown areas of… (19,268), Wheat — total — Sown areas of agricultural crops… (18,814), Industrial crops — Sown areas of agricultural crops… (14,774). The gap between the highest and lowest is 5,046 times. The top five account for 76.5% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Annual observations, 7 periods in the dataset. Out of 175 possible values, 150 are filled (85.7%). Gaps exist but are isolated: observations for some positions were not always conducted
