Russia can keep up pace of grain exports
Russia can keep up the pace of grain exports in the coming crop year, the head of Russia's Grain Union said on Wednesday, saying damage from a drought was not enough to dent the exportable surplus significantly and carryover stocks were plenty.
This season Russia will be able to export nearly 40 mln tonnes of grain as opposed to over 26 mln tonnes in the previous season, reported Alexander Korbut, the vice-president of Russian Grain Union, on October 2 during the Seventh International Conference ``Grain industry 2008''.
