Organization of Russian grain exports in 2020–2024

The purpose of the analysis presented in the article is to study the dynam-ics of export deliveries of Russian wheat abroad in 2020-2024, to identify and assess the ongoing political and economic changes, and their possible impact on the domestic market and global food stability. General scientific approaches were used as the methodological basis of the study: analysis, comparison and generalization of data related to export changes in Russian grain supplies in the period from 2020 to 2024, as well as the study of available statistical information on the activities of leading grain companies in Russia engaged in foreign trade activities. It was established that in the 2023-2024 agricultural year, grain exports abroad from Russia reached 55.5 million tons, which gave it a quarter of the world wheat market. At the same time, according to expert forecasts, in the up-coming 2024-2025 marketing season, export volumes may decrease to 48 million tons, and the country's share in global trade will decrease to 22.5%. It was re-vealed: recently, there has been a reduction in the list of countries buying Russian wheat, but export volumes have increased significantly to some countries, espe-cially to the BRICS countries, including Brazil, China and Saudi Arabia, which maintained the leading position of the Russian Federation in the world market in 2024 (second place in grain sales). It was determined: in 2021-2022, the number of exporters to the Russian Federation decreased to 230 grain traders, mainly due to the geopolitical situation. But already in the 2022-2023 season, their growth to 266 exporting companies was recorded.
