"It should be noted that the overall yield of grain crops in Russia is expected to drop by as much as 17 per cent by 2050. At the same time, in the Central, Volga, and Ural Federal districts the plunge in crop yield is described as ‘catastrophic’ at 14, 30, and 38 per cent by 2050, respectively." "Without adequate measures to adapt agriculture to climate change, the annual economic loss from a decrease in climate-determined crop yield in Russia is estimated at RUB 108bn (approximately $3.5bn) by 2020 and over RUB 120bn (approximately $3.9bn) by 2050."
