Agriculture : The Results of the Second Year of the Pandemic

Despite the fall in the physical volume of agricultural production and exports in 2021, the excess of 2020 figures in value terms stood at 17.1% and 21.3%, respectively.

Losses in the production of vegetables and potatoes were fully offset by the growth of the production of oilseeds and sugar beets. The growth of livestock production was insignificant. The structure of the cost of agricultural production in comparison with the sources of resources allows us to conclude about the risk of its growth in the event of rising prices on the foreign market and the ruble depreciation in 2022
