Severe drought in 1998–1999 led to a harvest of 48 million tons and 60.2 million tons respectively, adding more to the economic crisis that hit Russia in 1998, and thus forcing Russia to accept humanitarian aid. In 2006, Russia harvested 78.4 million tons of grain. In 2007, Russia harvested 81.5 million tons. 2007 crops production exceeded the level of 1990 by 10 %, while livestock output was lagging behind the 1990 level by about 30 %.
