MOSTAGRO is a Russian grain exporter
We originate milling wheat, feed barley, corn and pulses in Russia's Southern, Volga and Central federal districts, then load at Black Sea and Azov ports. Buyers get a named trader, SGS inspection on every lot, and digital-asset escrow — not a chain of intermediaries.
- 18+ years in grain export · 40+ destination countries
- 2.5M MT annual export capacity · firm quote within 24 hours
- Direct cooperative contracts · owned & partner elevators
Direct contracts, not a trader's book
MOSTAGRO Export System buys from farming cooperatives under seasonal and multi-lot contracts, then builds export parcels at elevators we own or operate with partners. The point of that structure is control of protein, moisture and admixture before the grain ever reaches a load port — not a last-minute purchase on the spot market when a vessel is already nominated.
Origination is concentrated in three federal districts. The Southern district supplies the bulk of high-protein milling wheat that Turkish and Egyptian millers specify. The Volga district adds volume and feed barley. The Central district fills corn and pulse programmes when Black Sea stems are tight. We do not claim a single estate or a branded farm; we claim a contracting model that can be sampled, graded and rejected before rail loading.
- Direct contracts with farming cooperatives
- Protein, gluten and falling number sampled at the elevator, not only at the ship's rail
- Lots held until SGS / BlaCtrl pre-shipment results match the sales contract
- In-house chartering desk nominates vessels once the parcel is physically ready
Owned and partner elevator network
Export wheat is only as good as the last silo it sat in. MOSTAGRO consolidates contracted lots through an owned and partner elevator network so that Grade 3 milling wheat does not get mixed with feed wheat, and so that moisture can be managed before a long sea voyage. Elevators are the operational core of the company: intake, drying where needed, blending to contract protein, and rail or truck dispatch to Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Taman, Azov or Rostov-on-Don.
Independent lab work sits between the elevator and the vessel. Every export lot is offered subject to SGS or BlaCtrl pre-shipment inspection against the contractual specification — GOST 9353-2016 for milling wheat, plus buyer-specific limits on wet gluten, falling number, test weight and mycotoxins. If the certificate does not match, the lot does not load. That is a slower way to trade than flashing a WhatsApp screenshot of someone else's cargo. It is the only way we will put our name on a bill of lading.
Chartering is in-house. The same desk that prices milling wheat 12.5% protein also works laycan, NOR and demurrage with the carrier, so the commercial offer and the stem are one conversation. See FOB Novorossiysk grain logistics for ports, vessel sizes and Incoterms, or the dedicated route notes for FOB Novorossiysk and milling wheat CIF Mersin.
Why Black Sea protein still clears mill specs
Russian milling wheat is specified in Turkey, Egypt and Iran because the chernozem belt and a continental ripening season produce high protein and strong gluten at a landed cost mills can run. Grade 3 at 12.5% protein is the workhorse bread-flour grade on the Black Sea market. Grade 1–2 lots at 13–14% are used for blending with softer local wheat. Grade 4 at 11.5% covers biscuits and some flatbread programmes.
Moisture at or below 13.5% and a falling number of 250 seconds or better are the two parameters that decide whether a cargo survives a summer voyage without heating or amylase damage. Those numbers are written into the contract and checked at the elevator and again at the load port. Feed barley and non-GMO yellow corn move on the same corridors when mills and feed plants want a combined stem rather than three separate suppliers.
It requires repeatable GOST grades, a load-port programme that can take Handysize through Panamax (and Capesize when the stem justifies it), and documents a mill's customs broker has seen before: bill of lading, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, SGS report.
Mills, feed plants, tenders and DAP inland
The book is B2B. Flour mills and blenders take Russian milling wheat for bread flour, usually 12.5% protein, often CIF into Turkey (Mersin and Marmara) on a 4–7 day Black Sea transit. Compound-feed plants take barley and corn. State and GASC-type tender desks buy 12.5% wheat with a full documentary pack. Distributors into Afghanistan take bagged wheat and flour DAP overland via Iran when bulk discharge is not practical.
We are not a consumer brand and we do not publish a staff directory or a city showroom. The commercial interface is a named trader on the export desk: one person who owns the offer, the contract, the escrow instruction and the loading programme. If you send grade, volume, discharge port and Incoterms to the trading desk, that trader replies with a firm offer within 24 hours during Mon–Fri 09:00–19:00 GMT+3.
- Flour mills — bread-grade wheat, GOST 9353-2016, CIF or FOB
- Feed buyers — barley and non-GMO corn, bulk or bags
- GASC-type tenders — 12.5% protein, SGS, phytosanitary, CoO
- Afghanistan DAP — 50 kg bags or 1 MT big-bags via Iran corridors
Named trader, SGS and digital-asset escrow
Settlement is digital-asset escrow. Funds are locked when the sales contract is signed and released against the shipping documents — bill of lading, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and the SGS inspection report. No bank letter of credit is required and no bank sits in the middle of the release. That is the same mechanism described on how grain export works: the buyer is not asked to prepay a trader who then goes shopping; the cargo is originated, inspected and loaded against money that already sits in escrow.
Incoterms on the book are FOB, CIF, CFR and DAP. FOB Novorossiysk is the default load-port sale. CIF is used when the buyer wants freight included to Mersin, Marmara, Egyptian ports or Bandar Abbas. DAP is used for inland Afghanistan. Packaging is bulk in hold, 50 kg PP bags, 1 MT big-bags, or private-label printing where the mill wants its own mark on the bag. Details live on the logistics page.
If you already know the stem, skip the brochure and send the desk a specification: milling wheat grade, metric tons, load or discharge port, and FOB / CIF / CFR / DAP. That is enough to price. The same desk covers FOB Novorossiysk stems and CIF Mersin milling-wheat programmes.

About MOSTAGRO — common questions
Does MOSTAGRO originate grain or resell from other traders?
MOSTAGRO originates grain under direct contracts with farming cooperatives in the Southern, Volga and Central federal districts, then consolidates lots through owned and partner elevators. We are the named seller on the contract, not a broker passing a third-party offer.
Who typically buys Russian grain from MOSTAGRO?
Buyers are flour mills and blenders, compound-feed plants, state and GASC-type tender desks, and inland distributors taking DAP cargoes into Afghanistan. Typical first orders are milling wheat 12.5% protein FOB Novorossiysk or CIF Mersin.
How is payment settled without a bank letter of credit?
Settlement is digital-asset escrow. Funds are locked at contract signing and released against the shipping documents: bill of lading, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and SGS inspection report. No bank intermediary is required.
