# Russia Boosts Late Season Grain Export Quota as Prices Pick Up

> Russia set a grain export quota of 20 million tons for February 15 to June 30, covering wheat-related grains including barley and corn. That compares with 10.6 million tons in the same period last season, when barley and corn were excluded. Russia aims to export 53 to 55 million tons of grain in the current season.

## Why it matters

A larger quota that includes barley and corn adds export supply in the second half of the season, which is bearish for wheat, barley and corn prices.
