Russia targets Southeast Asian markets for grain exports
MOSCOW - Russia is targeting large markets in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Bangladesh for grain exports in the new marketing season that began on July 1, Ilya Ilyushin, head of state export agency Agroexport, said on Thursday. Russia, the world's largest wheat exporter, is seeking to diversify agricultural exports beyond traditional buyers such as Egypt and Turkey, which bans imports periodically to support domestic producers. Last season Russia boosted wheat supplies to Vietnam fourfold. "Right now, our goal is to enter the Southeast Asian market. This includes not only Vietnam and Bangladesh, but also Malaysia and the Philippines. These are large countries with significant purchasing power and grain imports," Ilyushin said. Bangladesh became the third-largest buyer of Russian wheat last season. Russia expects to achieve a 4% larger grain harvest of 135 million tons in 2025, despite drought in some regions, and plans to export 45 million tons of wheat in the current season, compared with 44 million tons last season. Eduard Zernin, a board member of Russia's Grain Producers and Exporters Union and CEO of Bio-ton agricultural holding, said that Russia is likely to face tough competition from Australia, the United States, and Canada in Southeast Asia. "This is a powerful group with ambitious competitors. They have their own goals and objectives, their own ways of doing business. And we need to be prepared for tougher competition," Zernin said.

Russian food exports to Africa increase 19%
Russian agricultural exports to African nations surpassed $7 billion in 2024, marking a 19% increase from the previous year, the export department of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture reported on Monday. Russian food products were exported to 45 African countries last year, with Egypt remaining the largest importer of Russian wheat. Additionally, Russia exported sunflower and soybean oil, legumes, flax seeds, yeast, and other products to the country. Algeria ranked second in terms of Russian food imports. It was followed by Libya, Kenya, and Tunisia, according to data from Agroexport. Cereals – mainly wheat, barley, and corn – accounted for 87% of all food shipments to the continent. Dairy product exports also saw significant growth last year. 'In the 2023/2024 season, African countries imported 21.2 million tons of wheat, accounting for 38% of Russia's total wheat exports and setting a record high. For comparison, 17.6 million tons were imported in the 2022/2023 season, and 10.6 million tons in the 2021/2022 season. Over the past five years, Africa's share has remained steady at around 40%, except for the 2022/2023 season, when it dropped to 35%,' said Igor Pavensky, head of the analysis department at Rusagrotrans, a railway infrastructure operator company. African countries already account for more than 50% of Russia's total wheat exports in the current season, with 18 million tons being shipped from July to February. The increase is driven by rising exports to Egypt, Algeria, Libya, and Morocco, as well as Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and other countries, Pavensky noted. In January, Eduard Zernin, chairman of the Russian Union of Grain Exporters, highlighted Africa's rising demand for Russian grain, attributing it to high quality and competitive pricing. 'In the current 2024-25 season, [Russian] exports to Morocco and Nigeria have already increased significantly. Kenya, which is already one of the main importers of Russian grain, is also expanding its volumes,' he reported. By the end of last year, Russia had overtaken France as Morocco's top grain supplier due to competitive pricing and France's limited supply, according to Ruslan Khasanov, head of the Center of Grain Quality Assurance, Russia's grain quality watchdog. Omar Yacoubi, head of the Moroccan National Federation of Grain and Legume Traders, told Reuters in October that France lacks sufficient supply, while Russia's competitive pricing has positioned it as the key 'market maker.' In April, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for a 50% increase in agricultural exports by 2030 compared to 2021 levels, which totaled $37 billion.
