In the period from July 1 to August 20 of this year, suppliers of the Russian Federation shipped over six million three hundred and fifty thousand tons of grain products to the foreign market.

Representatives of the public relations department of the Federal Center for Grain Quality shared this information with the general public.

Also, employees of the institution note that in the current season the indicator of grain exports from Russia is slightly lower than the figures recorded in the same period last year. We are talking about a seven percent reduction in volumes.
