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