"We have never exported wheat, but now began to supply feed wheat, so we have started to compete with Ukraine", — said at a press conference the President of the Russian grain Union Arkady Zlochevskiy.

According to him, "this isn't a large amount," from the beginning of the season Russia exported less than 1 million tonnes of feed wheat.

The volume of exports at the end of the agricultural year will depend on how successful Russia will be able to compete with Ukraine.

Market of feed wheat is not very comprehensive, because breeders prefer corn and barley feed, said A. Zlochevskiy.
