Afghanistan Declared Largest Buyer Of Russian Flour In 2024

The Agroexport Centre, owned by the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, announced Afghanistan as the largest buyer of Russian flour in 2024.

According to the centre's data, flour worth $80 million was delivered to Afghanistan in 2024, which is twice as much as in 2023.

In 2023, the Russian Grain Market Information website announced that the country's flour exports to Afghanistan have increased 20 times since mid-2021.

At the same time, Agroexport said that grain production, including flour, in Afghanistan has been severely affected by war and political instability.

According to the centre, Afghanistan's domestic production is unable to meet the needs of the country's population and is dependent on food imports, including flour.
