Russia’s president and Tatarstan’s leader discussed low grain procurement prices, which the regional leader attributed to transport restrictions despite a good harvest. Authorities are considering shifting grain flows through Baltic, Caspian and Far Eastern ports and land crossings; a planned Makhachkala terminal is designed for 1.5 million tonnes annually and is due to open in 2028.
Transport bottlenecks constrain Russian grain movements and weigh on farm-gate prices; alternative routes could improve export capacity over time. The proposed terminal is a longer-term measure and does not immediately ease current supply pressure.
