In the first quarter of the year, the Orel and Kursk regions in Russia exported a total of 758,000 tons of regulated products, with 94% of the exports being grains and products derived from grains. This marked a 2.5 times increase compared to the same period last year, largely driven by increased grain production. However, quarantine objects were found in 86.2 thousand tons of the exported products, including dodder and ragweed, which are prohibited for export, as well as weed mountaineer curly, which has quarantine restrictions for Mongolia.
