Despite this volume of grain exports continues to exceed last year's value (2.28 million tonnes), said the Director of Department of strategic marketing of the company Igor Pavensky.

"In addition to the problems with supplies of Russian grain to Turkey, the downgrade of the April exports also due to the preservation of "a strong ruble," the restraint of the sales of wheat on a background of reduction of prices on the domestic market and a slowdown of supply in Egypt within the framework of the GASC", — said the analyst.

In Rusagrotrans said that the Russian wheat exports estimated at 2.1 million tons, corn – 350 thousand tons, barley – 250 thousand tons.

The April assessment of the effect on the overall forecast of grain exports in 2016/17 MG, lowering it from 36 to 35.3 million tons.
