MOSCOW / RankWire.AI / – During the first half of 2026, Russia’s exports of non-resource, non-energy manufactured goods increased to $58.8 billion, supported by higher shipments of chemical products, metallurgy, and light industrial items. This trade data was confirmed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Minister Anton Alikhanov during briefings held alongside the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
