Russia's grain exports down in early February
From July 1 to February 12, Russia's total grain exports amounted to 19.85 million tonnes, but the pace of exports fell dramatically on February 1-15, the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies (IKAR) said on Monday (Feb 20).
At the end of January, Russia had exported about 19.6 million tonnes, implying a monthly average of more than 2.74 million tonnes.
Of the total 19.85 million tonnes, Russia exported 16.4 million tonnes of wheat between July 1 and February 12, IKAR said.
