Experts: the weakening of the ruble will have a positive impact on grain exports 
(11-04-2018)

The weakening of the ruble in recent days should stimulate the export of Russian grain, said the head of the Russian grain Union Arkady Zlochevsky. The same assessment is expressed by all experts interviewed by ROSNG. However, the effect may be short-term.

Zlochevsky reported that" external " prices in dollars at which production was sold, allowed to increase deliveries. The head of the Union noted that both export and domestic shipments of grain in Russia break records — according to him, during the season only agricultural organizations delivered more than 52 million tons. He also said that the Union can not predict how long this situation will last with the Russian currency. This, he said, will depend on the domestic economy and political factors. At the same time, Zlochevsky believes that grain prices will be badly affected by its large reserves, which by March amounted to about 20.7 million tons.

- Devaluation of the ruble always dramatically increases the competitiveness of the domestic grain industry. The world market is much cheaper as the grain and the cost of freight, - says the founder of the national agricultural Agency Alexander Gavrilenko. - In 2014, a huge devaluation allowed Russia to actually take the first place in the world in terms of wheat exports, to occupy new markets, including those traditionally dominated by the United States. For example, several symbolic shipments were made to Mexico and Nigeria. However, it is not clear how long the low ruble will last now. It is obvious that the collapse in the stock markets is associated with panic, and in the future we will see a serious correction.
