By mid-October 2026, Russia’s physical grain exports since the start of the year were up 18% year over year, while export revenue rose 15%. Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut said the Baltic and Caspian routes had become more prominent as exporters diversified away from traditional routes, and highlighted plans to expand exports of higher-value processed products.
Higher export volumes add supply to global markets and may weigh on grain prices, while the shift to alternative routes helps sustain shipments despite logistical challenges. The figures also indicate continued demand for Russian grain from major buyers.
