According to Transagent, 409,208 tonnes of grain were exported from the Russian port of Novorossiysk during the period September 18-24 , which is 20% less than the previous record week, but it is 100% more than the same week of 2016. 321,000 tonnes of wheat (-37%), 60,902 tonnes of barley (excluding export a week earlier) and 27,300 tonnes of corn (+ 500%) were exported.

The Egyptian Prosecutor's Office issued a decision on the case of Romanian wheat mixed with poppy seeds. The solution is that it should be purified from the poppy, but it is not specified who will cover the costs. The claims of the Quarantine Service concerning the French wheat were rejected.
