Due to the growth of maize production during recent years, Russia became one of the largest suppliers of the grain on the world market. According to the USDA estimations, in 2013/14 MY the Russian Federation took the 5th position on the world market of maize exports - with its share of more than 3% of the general world exports of the grain. We should note that two seasons ago Russia occupied the 9th position only in the rating of countries-exporters of maize.

In 2013/14 MY (October-September) Russia supplied nearly 4 mln tonnes of maize on foreign markets, up over 2 times compared with the export volumes in the previous season. Such results broke the record of the grain export history (the previous record was observed in the season-2011/12 - 2.02 mln tonnes).

The reporting data are based on results of the new study of APK-Inform Agency "Market of maize and its by-products in Russia”. which is available for purchase.
