# Russia Proposes Grain Export Quota In Response To Coronavirus | ESM Magazine

> Russia's agriculture ministry proposed limiting grain exports to 7 million tonnes for April-June 2020 across wheat, rye, barley and corn. Traders said the cap is roughly in line with expected exports through June, but it raises the prospect of further restrictions. Ukraine said it is monitoring wheat exports daily.

## Why it matters

A Russian export quota, the world's largest wheat exporter, signals possible tighter Black Sea supply and could lift wheat, corn and barley prices if extended. The immediate volume impact is small because the cap roughly matches expected shipments.
