The Russian agricultural industry saw record-breaking achievements, particularly in wheat, barley, and pea exports, with a notable increase in global wheat export share to 28% and total grain exports surpassing 74 million tons. The exit of transnational grain traders allowed Russia to better cater to specific markets, boosting niche crops like rye, buckwheat, and millet. Analysts forecast a 10% rise in grain legume cultivation in 2024 due to growing import demand. Iran emerged as a key importer of Russian forage crops, while Indonesia re-entered the market and Nigeria halted imports due to banking issues. Despite initial price challenges, wheat futures and Russian wheat prices rose significantly towards the season's end.
