Russia, the world’s third-biggest wheat exporter last year, is forecast to get frosts and drought, which pose a risk for new season crops, the Federal Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring Service said.
There is a “very high” probability of frosts returning in the Southern and North-Caucasus federal district in February or March, Alexander Frolov, head of the service, known as Roshydromet, said at a news conference in Moscow today.
