The Russian Grain Union claims that Russia cannot export flour competitively due to Turkey violating WTO rules by cross-subsidizing its flour exports. Russia is capable of processing its own grain and producing flour that is just as good as Turkish flour, but they lack the funds to take legal action against Turkey at the WTO. Currently, Russia and Turkey are discussing a plan where Russian grain will be sent to Turkey for processing into flour and then distributed to needy countries with the assistance of Arab funds on favorable terms.
