The forecast for the grain harvest in 2025 in Russia of 135 million tons remains unchanged. To date, about 128 million tons of grain have already been harvested. Oksana Lut, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, told reporters about this on October 6 at the Bioprom exhibition and forum.

"Everything is according to plan, 135 million tons," the minister said, explaining that this number is indicated in the gross weight.

Lut also spoke about the start of construction of the first greenhouse for growing bananas in Russia. The minister shared that recently a person who is engaged in breeding different plants applied to the Ministry of Agriculture.

"He says, listen, get me the red kiwi seedlings. Red kiwi, but it has never grown in our country. It may seem ridiculous now, but objectively we can grow anything," said Luth.
