In 2023, Russia is demonstrating record volumes of grain supplies to China, and since 2014 they have grown 27 times, Olga, head of the department of internal phytosanitary and land supervision, quality control and grain safety of Rosselkhoznadzor, said during the Golden Autumn 2023 exhibition.

“This is a great achievement,” Zakharova noted and recalled that in 2022, supplies of spring wheat and barley from the Russian Federation to China were allowed, and this year peas and millet were allowed on the Chinese market.

“We are working very hard to gain access to corn and rice so that China will allow us to supply from all over the Russian Federation. We agreed with the General Customs Administration of China that by the end of the year we will sign an additional agreement with them to the protocol, and it will be possible to ship from all over Russia,” Zakharova said.

According to her, there are also plans to lift restrictions on rapeseed for all regions of Russia, which could happen at the end of 2023 or beginning of 2024. Russia will continue to work on admitting winter wheat and barley to the Chinese market, and is also discussing potential supplies of edible soybean meal, mung beans, beans, and beet pulp with molasses.

Deliveries of corn began to Egypt, Oman, Qatar, Venezuela, peas to the DPRK, Portugal, Hungary, Algeria, chickpeas to Morocco, lentils to Ecuador.
