A state of emergency in crop production was declared in 19 municipalities.

      As reported at a government meeting, in 2025 the sown area in Kirov Oblast was supposed to total 797 thousand hectares. However, it amounted to 779 thousand hectares. The reason was bad weather in April–May. In particular, this affected spring sowing.

      The harvesting of cereals and grain legumes also took place under difficult weather conditions. At the end of August and the beginning of September, farmers were seriously hampered by rains and a cold snap. Precipitation was four times the norm, and the ground could not dry in time. Because of this, a state of emergency was declared in 19 municipalities. Crop quality declined, and agricultural machinery could not operate as efficiently as before.

      To date, 95% of cereals and grain legumes, 88% of potatoes and 64% of vegetables have been harvested. Yields are generally decent, even higher than in previous years. However, the situation is marred by the fact that most of the grain is of low quality. Fodder has also been secured, so they will be able to get through the winter. In spring, however, farmers will face additional difficulties due to losses among winter crops.

      Governor Alexander Sokolov noted that farmers' losses will be covered by insurance, so things are not as bad as they seem. As for spring, he ordered the development of support measures for agricultural producers.
