Annual agricultural production volume index Russia 2011-2017
A drastic fall from 23 percent in 2011 to a negative 4.8 percent in 2012 in the Russian agricultural production index was followed by stably positive rates in the following years. The recovery was partly due to governmental support as well as lowered imports caused by a retaliatory ban from the European Union and other Western countries since 2014. The overall agricultural output in 2017 increased by 2.5 percent in volume compared to the previous year.
