About it on January 17 in his address to the Federation Council said the head of the Ministry Alexander Tkachev. "A record grain harvest in the amount of 134 million tonnes obtained last year, will allow us to export this season to 45-47 million tons of grain," - said the Minister.

He also said that to the present time foreign markets since the beginning of the 2017/18 MG already supplied 28 million tons of Russian grain, which is 35% higher than the same period a season earlier.

Alexander Tkachev particularly highlighted the growth in shipments of wheat to 22 million tonnes, more than 30% above last year's volumes. "We consolidate the status of the world's largest supplier of wheat", - he stressed.

We will remind that earlier the Ministry of agriculture predicted the volume of Russian grain exports in the season at 45 million tons.
