Russian wheat exports to China collapsed to $2.5 million in the first half of 2025, which is 15.6 times less than last year's figures, while corn supplies grew 2.5 times. Russian wheat now ranks only 4th among suppliers to China, behind Canada, Australia and Kazakhstan, while for corn the country moved up to the 3rd position.
