According to the Association of Russian Seaports, in January-June grain handling in ports of the country increased by 29.4% YoY, to 12.1 MMT. In the first half of 2016 cargo turnover in Russian seaports grew by 6%, to 344.6 MMT.
Such considerable increase in grain handling in Russian seaports became possible due to record export shipments, which reached 34.5 MMT in the 2015/2016 season. (UkrAgroConsult/Business World Magazine)
