The head of the Ministry of agriculture Lut: interruptions with oil products for farmers no

Russian farmers do not experience special interruptions in the provision of fuel and lubricants, said the Minister of agriculture Oksana Lut. According to her, the Agency solves the difficulties with the supply of petroleum products, and the situation “is under constant control”.

Ms. Luth added that Russia has already harvested 120 million tons of grain, of which 90 million tons of wheat, which “remained 8% of harvesting.” The southern regions have already begun harvesting corn, “which will give more grain.” Also, farmers sowed 6 million hectares of grain crops.

The fuel shortage in Russia occurred in early May. One of the reasons Alexander Novak called the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Russian oil refineries (refinery). Fuel problems and weather factors affected the pace of agricultural work: by the beginning of July, farmers had threshed 1.3-1.5 million hectares, three times less than in 2025, Forbes wrote. On September 4, the Minister of Agriculture said that the situation with fuel for farmers was stabilized.
