Russian Ministry of Agriculture hopes to develop grain exports to the Asia-Pacific region

Moscow, November 9 (RIA Novosti)-Russian Vice Minister of Agriculture Korolyov said in a speech at the seminar on "strengthening the construction of grain logistics infrastructure to improve Russia's grain competitiveness" that grain production in the Siberian Federal District has increased steadily in recent years, reaching 20 million tons this year, and there are still 8 million tons available for export after meeting domestic demand, which should be provided to the Asia-Pacific region where food demand is growing.
