What type of crop is mostly to grow across russia
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<span>Grains, as a whole, remain an important part of the Russian economy. The types of grains produced, however, vary with changes in demand and environmental conditions. Some grains, such as oats, supported Russia economically in the past, but grow in much smaller quantities. While grains export in highest quantities from Russia, legumes follow close behind. Hardy and resilient legumes, including potatoes and beets, prove ideally suited for Russia's cold climates and sub-par soils. Potatoes thrive at Russia's northernmost locations, primarily regions between 50 and 60 degrees latitude. Russian potatoes provide citizens with food and nutrients, and support vodka production as well. </span>
