In the 30th week, freight rates in the Azov-Black Sea region began to rise actively, reaching a level of $24 per ton for the shipment of 3,000 tons of wheat from Azov to the ports of the Sea of Marmara. Demand for Russian grain is finally picking up in Turkey and the Mediterranean countries. Additionally, coal shipments from the ports of the Azov Sea have intensified.
Meanwhile, the tariff rate for the export of wheat from the Russian Federation since July 23, as in the last two weeks, remains at zero. The tariff on barley also remains zero, while the tariff on corn will be reduced to 840.8 rubles per ton.
