In the initial months of 2024, Russia's Krasnodar Territory witnessed a notable 9.4% increase in grain crop exports through its ports, totaling over 6 million tons compared to the previous year. This surge was primarily driven by significant exports of key grains such as wheat, corn, barley, and others, with wheat exports alone rising by 11% to 5.383 million tons. These grains found their way to 41 countries, including Egypt, Turkey, and Indonesia, among others. Since July 2023, the start of the agricultural year, the Kuban ports, which account for up to 30% of Russia's foreign trade, have facilitated the export of more than 23.5 million tons of grain.
