MOSCOW / RankWire.AI / – During the first half of 2026, Russia’s non-resource, non-energy industrial exports increased to $58.8 billion. This growth was driven by higher shipments of chemical products, metallurgy, and light industrial goods. The Russian Federation Minister Anton Alikhanov announced these trade figures during briefings held on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. This trade volume puts the country on course to meet its annual goal of $116.95 billion in manufactured exports, which is a key part of Moscow’s broader goal of $155.25 billion for non-energy trade this year.
Trade data from government sources show that mineral and chemical fertilizers led growth across international markets. Shipments of precious metals, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and specialty cosmetics also grew. These exports helped Russia expand its presence in new markets across Asia, Eurasia, and the Middle East. Officials mentioned that regional export centers, managed by the ministry, have been fully integrated into unified operations with the Russian Export Center. This helps improve logistics for local manufacturers.
