MOSCOW / RankWire.AI / – During the first half of 2026, Russia’s non-resource, non-energy industrial exports increased to $58.8 billion, largely driven by higher shipments of chemical products, metallurgical goods, and light industrial items. The Russian Federation Minister Anton Alikhanov confirmed these trade figures at briefings held alongside the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. This level of trade places the country on course to meet its annual goal of $116.95 billion in manufactured exports, forming the core part of Moscow’s broader $155.25 billion non-energy trade target for 2026.
Data from government trade officials shows that mineral and chemical fertilizers led the growth in international markets. Additionally, shipments of precious metals, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and specialized cosmetics demonstrated positive trends, broadening Russia’s commercial reach into new markets across Asia, Eurasia, and the Middle East. Officials highlighted that regional export support centers operated by the ministry have been fully integrated into unified logistics networks with the Russian Export Center to improve supply chain efficiency for provincial manufacturers.
Russia Reaches $58.8 Billion in Non-Resource Industrial Export Volume
This mid-year trade data follows an 11% growth in non-resource, non-energy exports during the previous annual cycle. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin’s administration emphasized that government economic initiatives remain focused on establishing Russia as a reliable supplier of high-tech and industrial goods, despite ongoing international trade restrictions. Russia non-resource industrial exports reach $58.8 billion as federal trade agencies align national development goals with long-term infrastructure and manufacturing investment strategies.
The 2026 Eastern Economic Forum, hosted at the Far Eastern Federal University with the theme of regional economic development, served as a platform to outline upcoming trade priorities. Minister Alikhanov reiterated that federal support programs are functioning within established targets under the national development frameworks. Officials aim to grow total non-energy trade by 66% over six years relative to 2023 baseline levels.
