Russian grain unlimited

The Russian Government says it won’t introduce curbs on grain exports as it considers the country’s stockpile large enough to meet domestic demand. It has also increased the grain export forecast from 25 to 27mln tonnes.
Enrique2: But needed our corn in China? Funny, but I recently buy corn and it was made in CHINA! :-) So, it she unlikely need if they are to export ...
By the way, I'm a fan of corn at all, in recent times almost every day, eat corn on the cob in a glass jar (made in Thailand). I recommend to all Russians, it is sold in many places, at least in the Moscow region ..
Hello Kitty, it was just an example. Brazil and Argentina export millions of tonnes of SOY to China every year. So, if Brazil´s "Embrapa" could develop a genetic kind of SOY for the dry "cerrado", Russia can develop a genetic kind of SOY for similar lands in the Northern Caucasus (Caspian Sea Basin) or for cold in Southern Siberia....That was a national effort of R&D in Brazil, and so could be in Russia helping to diversify grain exports.
Apart from wheat, I wonder why Russia doesn´t increase corn and soya production, which have a large demand in China.
If Brazil´s "Embrapa" (the Brazilian Government authority for agriculture development) could create a genetic soya that could grow in the dry "cerrado" (inner Brazil)...then Russia can create a genetic soya that could grow in cold but mineral rich lands.
