en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Russian Agricultural Export Development Center (Agroexport) disclosed during a business mission for Russian exporters held in Guangzhou from June 24 to 26, 2026, that from January to May 2026, Russia's agricultural exports to China exceeded $4.2 billion, with a volume of approximately 4.9 million tons. Compared to the same period in 2025, export volume increased by 40%, and export value rose by 42%. The center's director, Ilyushin, provided the above data to Sputnik.
This business mission was organized by the Russian Agricultural Export Development Center and the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, with participation from over 100 Russian suppliers of agricultural products and food, fertilizer enterprises, as well as representatives from educational, logistics, and financial institutions. The event aimed to promote further alignment and cooperation in Sino-Russian agricultural trade.
According to Russian statistics, the top five categories of Russian agricultural exports to China in the first five months of 2026 and their respective shares were: frozen fish (26%), rapeseed oil (17%), crustaceans (14%), soybeans (6%), and flaxseeds (6%). Compared to the same period in 2025, the categories with the largest increases in export revenue to China included: frozen fish (up $479 million), rapeseed oil (up $172 million), soybeans (up $163 million), oilcakes and meal (up $98 million), and crustaceans (up $93 million). Additionally, exports of dried and salted fish increased 75-fold year-on-year, wheat rose 10.5-fold, and barley increased 1.7-fold.
Russia is one of China's important suppliers of agricultural products, and trade cooperation between the two sides in the agricultural sector has continued to deepen in recent years. The export data disclosed this time indicates that Sino-Russian agricultural trade maintained a growth trend in 2026, with the scale of exports of categories such as frozen fish and rapeseed oil to China expanding significantly. As Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation deepens, agricultural trade, as an important component of bilateral trade, has positive implications for the development of the agricultural industries and food security of both countries through its structural optimization and scale growth.
