Russia Ups Crop Forecast

The Russian Agriculture Ministry raised the upper end of its 2011 grain harvest forecast range to 90 million tonnes, local news agencies said Apr. 1, increasing the prospect of a possible resumption in exports. Officials have previously said Russia, which banned exports last summer following a severe drought, could resume grain sales abroad if the harvest reaches 85 million tonnes. – Reuters
