Russia's 2010 grain harvest fell 37.3% year-on-year to 60.9 million tons net weight, above the previously expected 60.3-60.5 million tons, the Statistics Service said on Thursday.
"In 2010, all agricultural enterprises (organizations, farmers, and households) threshed 37.3% less of grain than last year," the service said in a statement.
The Agriculture Ministry expected the country to harvest 60.3 million ton in 2010, while the government expected 60.5 million tons.
The harvest was devastated by the nationwide record drought this summer.
