Individuals close to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin are subordinating the Russian agricultural industry, in particular the grain sector.

This was reported by the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, reports Censor.NET .

According to intelligence, grain transshipment volumes at Russian ports in the first half of 2025 decreased by more than 56% due to a decrease in the harvest, export duties, and competition among port operators. Against the backdrop of unprofitability, the Steppe agricultural holding is selling its facilities in Azov and Volgodonsk.

Kremlin -linked structures have already shown interest in the assets . A similar situation exists around the agricultural holding Rusagro, whose owner has been arrested and part of the assets have been transferred to Rosselkhozbank, a financial institution controlled by the son of Putin’s associate Dmitry Patrushev.

The SZR emphasizes: such a “redistribution” of the agrarian business indicates a deep crisis in the industry and its growing dependence on state control.
