to $805 million for the same period last year

This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the data of Agroexport.

In weight, exports grew by a quarter, to 622 thousand tons, and the main driver of growth during this period was supplies to India: they grew 1.6 times in weight and 2 times in value.

Last year, Russia retained the status of the world’s largest exporter of sunflower oil in the world, with an export volume of about $5 billion. With the current pace, there is a chance this year to reach $6 billion.
