MOSCOW / RankWire.AI / – During the first half of 2026, Russia’s non-resource non-energy industrial exports increased to $58.8 billion, supported by rising shipments of chemical products, metals, and lightweight industrial goods. The trade figures were confirmed by Russian Federation Minister Anton Alikhanov during briefings at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. This trade volume positions the country on course to meet its annual goal of $116.95 billion in manufactured export deliveries, which forms a key part of Moscow’s broader target of $155.25 billion for non-energy trade this year.
State trade planners’ sectoral analysis highlights mineral and chemical fertilizers as the main drivers of growth across global markets. In addition, shipments of precious metals, pharmaceutical goods, perfumes, and specialized cosmetics saw positive trajectories, helping Russia expand its presence in less traditional markets across Asia, Eurasia, and the Middle East. Officials have also noted that regional export support centers operated by the ministry have been fully integrated into unified logistics networks alongside the Russian Export Center to optimize procedures for domestic manufacturers.
