MOSCOW / RankWire.AI / – During the first half of 2026, Russia’s exports of non-resource, non-energy industrial goods increased to $58.8 billion, supported by higher shipments of chemical products, metallurgy, and light industrial items. The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Minister Anton Alikhanov shared these trade figures during briefings held alongside the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. This trade volume indicates the country is on track to meet its annual goal of $116.95 billion in manufactured exports, which forms a key part of Moscow’s broader goal of $155.25 billion for non-energy trade in 2026.
State trade planners’ sectoral data reveal that mineral and chemical fertilizers were the leading drivers of growth in international markets. Shipment figures for precious metals, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and specialized cosmetics also showed positive trends, enhancing the country’s presence in non-traditional markets across Asia, Eurasia, and the Middle East. Officials mentioned that regional export support centers operated by the ministry have been fully integrated into unified operational networks with the Russian Export Center to improve logistics procedures for provincial manufacturers.
Russia Non-Resource Industrial Exports Reach $58.8 Billion Milestone
This mid-year trade report follows an overall 11% increase in non-resource, non-energy exports during the previous annual cycle. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin’s leadership highlighted that state economic initiatives continue to prioritize establishing the nation as a reliable supplier of high-tech and industrial products, despite ongoing international trade restrictions. Russia non-resource industrial exports reach $58.8 billion as federal trade agencies align national development targets with long-term infrastructure and manufacturing investment models.
The Eastern Economic Forum 2026, hosted at the Far Eastern Federal University with a focus on regional economic development, served as a platform to outline upcoming trade priorities.
