In addition, this list includes Saudi Arabia and Libya.
“Together, these countries account for about 70% of grain supplies,” the ministry said.
Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Dmitry Patrushev, said that Russia could reduce the plan for grain supplies abroad this year, but it would fully provide the domestic market.
He explained that the possible decline in the harvest is due to the late start of work in many regions due to the cold spring and weather conditions.
In addition, there are difficulties with the supply of foreign components for equipment.
On July 19, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin noted that Russia expects to export 37 million tons of grain this year.
According to him, next year it is planned to export up to 50 million tons.
Also, the US Department of Agriculture raised the forecast for the harvest of wheat in Russia in the 2022/23 agricultural year.
