Russia Eyes Lead Role in Morocco's Grist Market as Exports Jump 27%: Agroexport

From January to May, Russia shipped approximately 87,000 tons of vegetable grist (sunflower, soybean, rapeseed, flax) to Morocco — a 27% increase year-on-year.

Why Morocco needs more grist

Morocco's growing milk and meat production is driving demand for animal feed. Since the country produces limited grist domestically, it relies heavily on imports.

What's changed in 2026?

Sunflower grist demand from Russia rose 1.6 times year-on-year

Soybean grist demand jumped fivefold

First-ever flax grist/flax cake shipments to Morocco — 6,000 tonnes, making Russia the second-largest supplier after Turkey
