Russia's budget revenue from floating grain export duties in 2026 is projected at 76.4 billion rubles, against an initial plan of 138.8 billion rubles. The shortfall is attributed to low global grain prices pushing duty rates to zero or lower.
Low world grain prices keep Russian export duties near zero, which supports Russian exporters' margins and sustains competitive Black Sea wheat offers, pressuring global wheat prices.
