Russia has no problem with moving grain exports - agriculture minister

MOSCOW. Sept 14 (Interfax) - Russia has no problem with moving its grain exports, Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut said in an interview with journalist Alexander Yunashev.

She dismissed claims that the country was unable to move its grain for sale. "This is the biggest value, we send all [exports] abroad!" Lut said.

Millions of tons of grain go to the buyer via a newly launched Baltic corridor and the existing Caspian route, she said. And even recent fears about Kazakhstan preparing to limit Russian grain transit proved unnecessary, she said.

Partners already gave their reassurances that they will not do so, the minister said.

There have been some unusual solutions, too, she said. For example, whereas before grain would almost never be exported through the Far East, now such routes are being actively worked on, including a possibility being discussed with China of it transiting the exports bound for southeastern Asia.

"Generally, we have very many options. We think up such options, being much encouraged by the situation, of course. It turns out it is even possible to do fantastic things we never thought about," Lut said, adding that Russia has plenty for itself and "will definitely feed someone else."
