The reasons for the loss of wheat from the harvest grown in the fields of Russia

Abstract

Abstract A comparative analysis has been performed of statistical data on wheat losses in the fields from 2001 to 2019, using Russia as an example, which enables us to estimate the wheat losses from the crop grown accurately when harvested using combined harvesters. The analysis of the wheat losses from the grown crop in the fields was carried out in three directions based on the total sown areas, the average wheat yield, and the total harvested areas of the winter and spring wheat; according to the official data of the “Expert and Analytical Center for Agribusiness” and “Statistical Collections of Agriculture in Russia.” Analysis of wheat losses in the Russian Federation fields has been compared with the first and second directions. This analysis helps to identify the causes that affect the loss of wheat during the harvesting process by combined harvesters.
