According to the News Agency of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, from January to June 2018, Russia’s agricultural machinery exports reached 6.6 billion rubles, an increase of 56.9% compared to the same period index in 2017.
In the first half of this year, the main export enterprises of Russian agricultural machinery were Rostov Oblast Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. in Rostov Prefecture, Petersburg Tractor Factory in St. Petersburg, Klever Company in Rostov Oblast Prefecture, and European Machinery and Equipment Co., Ltd. in Samara Oblast Prefecture.
