The Times: Russia takes control of the global wheat market

🇷🇺⚡The Times: #Russia takes control of the global #wheat market.

 According to the British publication, Russia's goal to increase agricultural exports by 50% by 2024 is quite achievable.  An important factor in the growth of Russian #exports is wheat, the world export of which #Moscow has already taken under control.

 In April alone, Russian #grain exports increased by 18%.  Significantly increased world grain prices have allowed the Russian budget to receive $1.9 billion in tax revenues on grain exports since the beginning of the year.

 In addition, the publication notes that the export of wheat from Russia covers the deficit formed in the world grain market, including a drop in supplies from #Ukraine by 32%.
