In the first half of 2024, Bashkiria, Russia, saw a 22.9% increase in grain exports, reaching 307.2 thousand tons compared to the same period in the previous year. The republic exported grain and its processed products to 19 countries, expanding its list of international buyers. The main exports included wheat, barley, flax, and peas. All batches were laboratory tested and met the import requirements, with 5.8 thousand export phytosanitary certificates issued. However, there was a 35.1% decrease in grain sales to other regions within Russia, as Bashkiria has shifted its focus towards exporting more directly to foreign markets.
