Tridge summary

In the first half of 2024, Russia saw a notable increase in its native starch production, reaching 205.5 thousand tons, up from 192 thousand tons the previous year, as reported by the Soyuzkrakhmal Association. This growth is led by increases in corn and wheat-derived starches, with corn and wheat contributing over 84% of the total production. Modified starches also experienced a significant surge, with production up by 23%. Additionally, the production of potato starch, sugary starch products, and lysine, an essential amino acid for the feed industry, also saw positive growth. However, wheat gluten production experienced a slight decrease, while corn gluten production increased due to capacity expansion and modernization of production lines. These findings were compiled by the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Center for Agroanalytics" from agroinvestor.ru.
