Natural Resources

In this article I will take an economic standpoint on russias resources.
 
The amount of raw materials that can be produced by Russia is enormous. It is the worlds largest exporter of natural gas and the second largest producer.Russia produces the most amount of oil of nation on the planet and is the worlds leading exporter. Russia produces the 3rd most electricity in the world and the 5th most renewable electricity .Russia is without a dought an energy superpower.
 
The total area of cultivated land in Russia was estimated as 1,237,294 km in 2005, the fourth largest in the world.Russia is the leading exporter worldwide of rye, barley, buckwheat and sunflower seeds. it is also the third largest producer of meat worldwide second only to the European Union and The United States Of America. Russias agricultural output is still growing and there is definate substantial growth potential.

The greatest potential oppurtunity for russian export is in forestry as it is the largest forested country in the world. It contains one fifth of the worlds forests. Russia will increase output of wood into the future.
