Tridge summary
Since the beginning of 2021, exporters of the region have sent 498 thousand tons of grain to foreign buyers. This is almost a quarter more compared to the same period in 2020. Grain and grain products were shipped to 18 countries: Kazakhstan, China, Latvia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Azerbaijan, as well as Pakistan, Bangladesh, UAE, Lithuania, Turkey, Japan, Turkmenistan, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Poland, and Malaysia. Since the beginning of the year, inspectors of the Rosselkhoznadzor Administration for the Novosibirsk Region have issued more than 10.5 thousand phytosanitary certificates for export consignments of grain and its processed products. As in the previous year, more than half of the export grain was made up of wheat consignments - 259 thousand tons. Next in terms of shipment volumes are peas - 82 thousand tons, barley - 45 thousand tons, flax - 32 thousand tons, rapeseed - 24 thousand tons, and sunflower seeds - 19 thousand tons. In addition, soybeans, rye, buckwheat, oats, and grain products were exported. According to the specialists of the Department, at present, the dynamics of export shipments to China and Kazakhstan (the main importing states of grain from the Novosibirsk region) in comparison with the same period in 2020 indicates a decrease in China's interest in rapeseed and oats and Kazakhstan's in rapeseed and barley.
