Since the start of 2023, the Oryol and Kursk regions have exported over 400 thousand tons of grain and its products, doubling the amount from the same period in 2022. These exports were made to 23 countries, with Latvia being the primary market, accounting for 70% of the total export volume. Other countries including Belarus, Lithuania, China, Kazakhstan, and Moldova also imported these goods. However, 51.6 thousand tons of wheat and soybeans were found to contain a quarantine weed, some of which were sent for processing while the rest were shipped to countries where this weed is not a quarantine object.
