Background of the region
Southern and Eastern Russia (S&E Russia) includes five Federal Districts: Southern, Volga, Urals, Siberian and Far Eastern. Since the beginning of the 90’s, the total sowing area in S&E Russia followed general decreasing trends similar to those observed in the rest of the country. The total cropped area in the region decreased from 90 million ha (M ha) in 1990 to around 61 M ha in 2005-2007. In 2008, it increased slightly to 61.3 M ha - accounting for 80% of cropped area in Russia – in what was the first noticeable increase in the regional sowing area since the collapse of the USSR. In 2008 the cropped area in S&E Russia was occupied by cereals 63%, sunflower 9%, and potato 2%. Grain legumes, vegetables (including melons), sugar beet, soybean and other oil crops occupied 1% of the crop acreage each. The rest of the planted area (22%) was distributed mainly among fodder crops (annual and perennial grasses, and fodder maize).
