Russia wants to start exporting wheat to India, say agri minister.

Russia would like to start exporting wheat to India, Agriculture Minister Alexander Tkachev said, speaking at a business breakfast in the framework of the Golden Autumn forum. India is the country which is yet to be open for Russia. Earlier, in 2017-2018 Russia hopes to win back the world leadership in export of wheat. In the previous agricultural year, which ended on June 30, 2017, Russia exported a record 35.5 million tonnes of grain, including 27.1 million tonnes of wheat, ranking second after the United States (28.1 million tonnes) the world leader in wheat exports.
