Russia has seen a significant decrease in its wheat, barley, and corn exports in the first ten days of September compared to the same period last year, with a 28.3% drop in wheat exports being the most notable. This decline is largely attributed to a reduction in shipments to Turkey, which has been replaced by Ukrainian grain under the 'grain deal.' Despite this, Russia's export geography is expanding, with increased purchases by Egypt and exports to countries like Djibouti, Pakistan, Tunisia, and Algeria. However, Russia is yet to export to Central and South African countries this season due to increased logistics costs, limited ship supply, and higher fees for passage through the Bosphorus. Despite these challenges, Russian wheat remains competitive in the market, with a discount of $35 per ton compared to European wheat.
