Record USSR Grain Crop Announced
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture said recently that the
Soviet Union’s 1973 gross grain
crop is expected to reach a record
215 million tons.
In a speech on October 26,
Secretary General Leonid
Brezhnev stated that the USSR’s
1973 gross grain crop is expected
to reach 215 million tons. Since a
crop of this magnitude is not
inconsistent with recently
received information on har
vesting and data on domestic
grain purchasing by the Soviet
Government, the USDA is
revising its estimate of the 1973
grain crop accordingly. The
Soviet Union’s planned goal for
1973 is 197.4 million tons. Last
year’s production was 168 million
tons, and the previous record was
187 million tons achieved in 1970.

Since harvesting weather in
European USSR and the western
part of Asiatic USSR was less
favorable than usual, the
proportion of usable grain in the
current gross harvest figure is
probably somewhat below nor
mal.
The Soviet crop announcement
did not include a breakdown by
type of grain. With the 215 million
ton estimate for total grains, the
USDA is estimating U.S.S.R.
wheat production at a record 105
million tons. Last year wheat
output totaled 86 million tons. The

and com) has been increased to
93 million tons, up from 70 million
tons in 1972. The estimate for
miscellaneous grain (buckwheat,
millet, rice and pulses)
production is 17 million tons. In
1972 miscellaneous grain output
totaled 12 million tons.
In view of the large purchases
of foreign grains already made
by the USSR for 1973-74, this huge
crop should enable the Soviet
Union not only to meet both its
domestic and foreign
requirements but also to increase
carry-in stocks for 1974-75.
