The volume of agricultural products traded on Russian exchanges increased by 30%, reaching 63 billion rubles in 2024.

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) continues to implement regulatory measures to expand trading volumes through exchanges. Specifically, to approve transactions involving economic concentration, the agency requires that some products be sold through exchanges if there are risks of limited competition. it is also conducting outreach to market participants, including exchanges, ministries, and entrepreneurs. Voluntary exchange obligations for companies have been introduced.

Particular attention is being paid to monitoring the registration of over-the-counter contracts, particularly in sectors such as SUGAR , grain, and sunflower oil exported . The FAS reported that high compliance discipline is observed in these areas, which has led to increased transparency of EXPORT prices and the creation of official price indicators for grain, used by the Russian Ministry of Agriculture to determine export duties. Meeting participants approved an updated methodology for calculating the export indicator, revised to reflect industry proposals.
