Murmansk port received the first train with grain for export The Murmansk Maritime Trade Port (MMTP) received the first train with 3.4 thousand tons of grain from the main agricultural areas. The cargo will soon reach foreign markets. Plans to begin moving grain for export through Murmansk were announced back in September. We talked about 60-90 thousand tons per month. The main route for supplying grain from Russia to foreign markets is the Black Sea and Azov, which account for about 84% of all grain exports. In the summer, the armed forces of Ukraine increased their attacks on ships and grain terminals in them. In mid-August, Russia's largest deepwater nuclear terminals (total handling capacity of 26.1 million tons per year) NKHP, NZT and KSK were damaged. They stopped work temporarily. Because of this, Russian farmers redirected exports through the northwestern regions. According to the Analytical Department of the Russian Grain Union, 530.2 thousand tons of grain were shipped through the port of Ust-Luga (there were no shipments last September), and 342 thousand tons through Vysotsk, which is 9.5 times more than a year earlier.
