This RAD issue looks at grain exports from Russia. First, Miranda Svanidze, Linde Götz and Florian Schierhorn argue that the mobilization of Russia’s grain export potential requires an improvement in the functioning of the country’s grain market. Second, Maximilian Heigermoser and Linde Götz write that since the turn of the millennium, Russia has become the world’s largest wheat exporter. The authors also suggest it is not yet clear if current trends could result in Russia’s exercise of market power and price distortions on the international wheat market.
