Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
Winter sowing plan for the 2027 crop currently reads 19 mln ha, mapping to a stress of 25/100 — modest pressure.
Across the tracked period the stress has held roughly flat (+0.0 pts).
The value is sourced via official statistics; confidence — medium. How it is derived: The agriculture ministry cut the plan to 19 mln ha (Bank of Russia report, 14 Oct 2026) from ~20 mln ha.
History is accumulating since launch — a chart appears once enough daily readings pile up.
