Abstract: This paper will discuss Russian agricultural statistics. Section 1 below introduces an overview of agricultural statistics in Imperial Russia, and presents the results of calculations of agricultural production indices from this data. Sections 2 and 3 address agricultural statistics for the Russian Republic (RSFSR) during the Soviet era: Section 2 briefly reflects on Soviet agriculture, and considers the significance of agriculture in the economy of the Soviet Union. This is in order to deepen understanding of the agricultural statistics of the Russian Republic to be introduced in Section 3. Section 3 shows the main agricultural statistics released by the Russian Republic statistical authorities in organized formats, and indicates related issues. Specifically, the first part of Section 3 presents statistics related to agricultural production in the Russian Republic, and the second part provides the problems with Soviet Union (Russian Republic) official statistics as indicated by scholars particularly in the West. The third part addresses statistics related to the main forms of agricultural operations in the Soviet Union, such as kolkhozy and sovkhozy, and the fourth part summarizes statistics related to labor in agriculture in the Russian Republic.
