Russian soybean exports down 22% this season.

Soybean exports from Russia totaled 26.1 KMT in July 2017 against 20.8 KMT in the previous month and 22 KMT in July 2016. Overall, 346.2 KMT of soybeans were exported in September-July 2016/17, or 22% less than at the same time last season. As before, soybean exports are hampered by strong domestic demand for soybean products. This season, Russia exported soybeans for the first time to Iran (5% of total exports) and Mongolia (0.2%).
