Wheat yield in Russia by year
34,3 centners/ha, 2025 +4,9 to 2024
Average wheat yield in centners per hectare of harvested area across all categories of farms: agricultural organizations, farmers, and households. A centner is 100 kg, so 30 c/ha is three tonnes per hectare.
Yield and gross harvest are different indicators. Harvest also depends on the number of hectares sown and the amount harvested; therefore, a year with record yield does not always result in a record harvest.
Weather is the most significant factor: in the drought year of 2010, yield fell to 19.1 c/ha after 23.2 the year before. Over thirty years, it has roughly doubled: in the 1990s, typical values were 14–20 c/ha, while in the 2020s, they are around 30.
