As of July 2024, the Krasnodar Territory exported 192.8 thousand tons of winter barley worth $36.8 million, significantly surpassing the previous year's figures. The region's barley exports primarily went to the Middle East, Transcaucasia, North Africa, and Asia. Russia is projected to lead global barley exports this agricultural season, with optimistic forecasts from the Union of Grain Exporters of the Russian Federation and the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies. The demand for Russian barley has notably increased in several countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Tunisia, China, and Algeria.
