At the same time, August volumes more than doubled compared to July due to the activation of sea exports.

Since the beginning of 2025, 18.8 million tons of grain cargo have been transported by rail. This is 30% less than in the same period last year, reports Rail.insider.

In August, transportation volumes amounted to 2.8 million tons, which is 2.3 times more than in July and 6% higher than in August 2024. Grain exports in August amounted to 2.55 million tons — 70% more than in July, but 3% less in annual terms.
