Minister Dmitry Patrushev said Tuesday.
"Overall, we plan to harvest [in 2018] 106 million tonnes of grain in net weight, which is at the level of the state program indicator and slightly higher than the average for 10 years," Patrushev said at a meeting on the development of the agro-industrial sector.
Earlier, the Agriculture Ministry expected the grain harvest to total 105 million tonnes this year.
