In 2023, farmers in Bashkortostan allocated 50.2 thousand hectares to flax production, yielding over 40 thousand tons of oil seeds, which were shipped to China by rail in 62 train cars. The agricultural products underwent inspection and laboratory examination to ensure compliance with the requirements of the People's Republic of China. The export of agricultural products from Bashkortostan to China has been steadily growing, with a 10% increase in exports in January-November compared to the previous year, reaching a value of about $296 million.
