We plan to supply that amount of grains to foreign markets in the new season. It is a very decent number. If the harvest grows, our internal consumption will be constant and stable. Therefore, the export potential can also increase,” the minister noted.

He also noted that friendly countries account for about 87 percent of Russian exports.

“Ninety-six percent of our grains are sent to these responsible partners, and there is no doubt this is our most significant contribution to global food security. We don’t talk, we do. We supply our grain to those who really need it,” Patrushev added. .

Just today, the minister specified that Russia exported a record 60 million tons of grain in the 2022-2023 agricultural season, from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.
