“The president [России Владимир Путин] I talked about this – we practically exceeded the grain export targets compared to last year. We mainly export grains now. This is the lion’s share. Also oilseeds, butter, vegetable oil, sunflower. These are probably the main ones,” he clarified.
The FCS representative added that the main buyers of Russian grain are China, the Middle East, Egypt and Kazakhstan. He also called these states traditional markets for Moscow.
