In the future, Russia will be able to increase the export of linseed oil

Russia has seen a significant increase in the gross harvest of oilseed flax over the past three years, with projections for the 2022 harvest to be almost double that of 2021, reaching approximately 1.5 million tons. Despite a slight increase in the production of linseed oil and meal, Russia primarily exports the flax itself. The country's main export markets are China, Belgium, and Turkey, with Belgium and Turkey being the leading buyers of flax for oil extraction, while China is the largest buyer of the flax culture itself. Additionally, Russia has been exporting an average of 30,000 tons of butter per year since 2018.
