The same price has been set for second-class malting barley. Barley for food purposes will cost 305.66 rubles per tonne (+7.48 rubles compared with 2025).
The price of food-grade rye will amount to 391.13 rubles per tonne (+21.09 rubles).
Food-grade wheat, depending on class, will be purchased at prices ranging from 419.12 rubles to 523.36 rubles per tonne, the same as last year.
Oats, depending on class, will cost from 307.65 to 407.82 rubles (+16–22 rubles).
Buckwheat under the state order will be paid at 515.77 to 623.23 rubles per tonne.
The price of food-grade millet per tonne will amount to 284.67 rubles (+15.35 rubles) and 293.98 rubles (+16.76 rubles), depending on class.
At the same time, prices for rapeseed have been reduced. Rapeseed for food purposes will be purchased at 1,117.53 rubles per tonne, and rapeseed for technical purposes at 1,084.56 rubles per tonne. Compared with last year, rapeseed prices have not changed.

As in previous years, premiums or discounts from grain prices have been established depending on quality. For grain, premiums will be paid for higher test weight compared with the baseline standard, while discounts will apply to grain and buckwheat for exceeding the permissible level of defective and damaged grains, impurities or mite infestation. For malting barley, a premium will be paid for lower protein content and larger grain size. For rapeseed, the criterion will be deviation of oil content from the baseline standard.
Sugar beet producers will receive a premium for earlier harvesting of root crops.
