According to experts of the grain market, carrying out of matches of world football Championship in Rostov-na-Donu can complicate the transportation of grain, as many export areas in the region geographically close to the venue of the matches. This can significantly increase the load on the transport infrastructure of the region and create congestion at the entrances to the port.

"In total exports at the end of the agricultural year, this circumstance is likely not affected, but in June and July, the pace of exports will slow down, will be at 15-20 percent lower than in the current season", — told "Interfax" a source in the market.

Meanwhile, the Institute for agricultural market studies believe that by the time of the matches of the main part of the grain will already be removed and the problem subsides. The agriculture Ministry also sees this as a problem — according to authorities at the present time, the pace of grain exports by 40% higher than the previous year.

Recall that in Rostov-on-don will host five matches of the 2018 world Cup: four games of the group stage and one match of 1/8 final. "Rostov-Arena a" must play teams of Brazil, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Mexico, Iceland and Croatia.
