# Agrarticker: Russia raises export tax

> Agrarticker's daily roundup reports that Russia is raising its grain export tax, alongside items on weaker grain prices after the US midterm elections and falling crude oil. It also notes a grain harvest surge in Ukraine caused by intensified Russian attacks on logistics infrastructure, and first freighters passing the Kerch Strait as Ukraine-Russia sectoral ceasefire talks continue.

## Why it matters

A higher Russian export tax reduces farm-gate returns and can curb Russian wheat offers, supporting prices, while Ukrainian export disruptions and crude weakness pull in opposite directions.
