In the first nine months of 2023, the Kursk region in Russia saw a significant increase in the export of grains, legumes, and oilseeds, with 470.4 thousand tons being shipped compared to 161.5 thousand tons during the same period last year. This surge in exports led to a corresponding increase in the number of grain safety and quality certificates issued by the Kursk branch of the Grain Quality Assessment Center, rising from 1,203 certificates last year to 2,250 certificates this year. The most exported crop from the region was wheat, followed by corn and barley malt, with other crops grown by Kursk farmers also in demand abroad.
