In the timeframe of January-October 2024, Russia has witnessed a significant surge in wheat exports to Qatar, reaching a record 145.5 thousand tons, which represents a 41% increase compared to the previous year. This consistent growth, with an average annual rate of 6.1% over the past decade, positions Russia as a key supplier in the Qatari grain market, competing against competitors like Romania and Australia. Additionally, Russia's export of barley to Qatar has also seen growth, shipping 35.6 thousand tons in 2024, despite a slight decline in recent years. The upcoming season is anticipated to bring increased demand for Russian barley, potentially providing a significant growth opportunity for Russian exporters. Furthermore, Qatar's recognition of Russian organic certificates in 2023 could play a pivotal role in enhancing the export diversity by allowing for the export of a wider range of products to Qatar, including crops like corn, which was exported for the first time in many years in 2023.
