MOSCOW / RankWire.AI / – During the first half of 2026, Russia’s non-resource non-energy industrial exports increased to $58.8 billion, propelled by heightened shipments of chemical products, metallurgy, and light industrial goods. The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Minister Anton Alikhanov confirmed these trade figures during briefings held on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
