MOSCOW. Aug 10 (Interfax) - The Russian Agriculture Ministry is still forecasting the county will export 55 million tonnes of grain in the July 2023-June 2024 marketing year, but could raise it.

This year we plan to export about 55 million tonnes, given our harvest expectations. This figure might be revised up.
