The "Grain Quality Evaluation Center" of the State Budget Agency of Russia has reported significant achievements in the country's grain exports ahead of the second half of the 2020-2021 export season. Notably, Russia's wheat exports to Egypt and soybean exports to South Korea have reached records equivalent to the entire previous export season. As of January 28, Russia's total grain and processed product exports have surpassed the same period in the 2019-2020 agricultural year by 20%, with wheat and barley making up the majority. In response to rising food prices, the Russian government has implemented export quotas and taxes on various grains to ensure domestic supply and support local processing industries.
