Russia exported a record 3.8 million tons of wheat to Bangladesh during the last fiscal year (July 2023 - June 2024), marking a significant increase of 1.8 times compared to the previous year.
This surge highlights Russia's growing role in meeting Bangladesh's food security needs amid global supply challenges. In addition to wheat, Russia has expanded its agricultural exports to include dry milk and lentils, further strengthening trade ties between the two nations. The Russian ambassador emphasized that these exports meet both global and local quality standards, despite facing scrutiny from certain critics regarding grain quality.
