“We have a big surplus of corn and soybeans now.”
Wheat also. Russia has become the world’s largest exporter of wheat. At the end of the Soviet Union, the population had the option to privatize the collective farms. Seven percent did. This 7% now produces 40% of the Russian agriculture products. Venezuela, Zimbabwe and North Korea are now pretty much the only locations in the world not food self sustaining.
It’s incredible to see Russia exporting wheat after the many decades of imports.
South America has really ramped up food production as well.
