World Bank - Discussion Papers from World Bank

Abstract: Russia's agricultural sector has potential to make a significant contribution to global food supply in the coming century. The country's agriculture is now, however, under-performing. Production continues to decline and productivity is low. At a time when world grain stocks are at historic lows, Russia is a net importer of grain despite the country's clear potential to become a major exporter. Poor performance of the agricultural sector has eroded the well-being of Russia's rural people, and impedes resumption of aggregate growth.
