Russia's grain exporters are confident of increasing supplies of pulses and cereals to India and China, while also targeting traditional markets in the Middle East and North Africa. Despite Turkey's decision to suspend wheat imports, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture does not anticipate this to impact Russian exports. In fact, Russia aims to reduce global grain supplies to 60 million tonnes in the 2024/25 season. This decision does not faze the country, even with potential harvest damage due to spring frosts and drought, as the ministry maintains its forecast of a 132 million ton harvest, though it may adjust if drought persists.
