In his presentation, he noted that the Company began grain trading in 2022 and initially sold its own wheat mainly. "Gradually, we began to form batches with the involvement of external volumes, and last year a specialized division, Resurs Agro Trading, appeared in the Group's structure. Thus, over 10 months of the current agricultural year Resource Agribusiness Group has already tripled its wheat export volume compared to the volume shipped last agricultural year," the speaker said.
