In June, South Korea's grain imports from Russia surged fivefold year-on-year to 30.8 thousand tons, valued at $8.1 million, with corn being the primary export. This increase positioned Russia as the fourth largest corn supplier to South Korea, holding a 3.03% market share behind the dominant suppliers Argentina, the United States, and Uruguay. This shift in sourcing patterns occurs as Ukraine, which was previously a major supplier, has seen a significant decrease in its export volumes to South Korea. Overall, South Korea imported cereals worth $370.7 million in June from the United States, Argentina, and Australia.
