Russia's agricultural exports have seen a significant increase in the first seven months of 2021, reaching a value of nearly $15.6 billion, which is an 18% increase compared to the same period in 2020. The Ministry of Agriculture anticipates that total exports for the year will reach around $30 billion, surpassing the $30.7 billion recorded in 2020. Key product categories, such as grain, fat and oil products, meat and dairy, fish and seafood, and food and processing industry products, have all experienced increases in export volumes. The main markets for these exports include China, the EU, Turkey, South Korea, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam. There has been a notable growth in exports to Vietnam, with Russia becoming the largest supplier of meat products to the country in the first half of 2021. The government is planning to streamline the export process to better cater to the rising demand for Russian agricultural products.
