Russia once again confirmed its status as one of the world's leading grain producers, accounting for 12% of the world's wheat and 14% of its barley, he added.According to him, such a base will allow the country to meet its own food security benchmarks and continue to develop its exports.Despite the sanctions and the withdrawal of foreign traders from the market, Russia's exports are increasing, not decreasing, as Patrushev highlighted. Now every fourth consignment of wheat on the world market is of Russian origin, he stressed.Earlier, Chairman of the Russian Union of Grain Exporters, Eduard Zernin, told Russian media that the share of new markets, including sub-Saharan Africa, in Russia's grain exports has significantly grown.
