“grains, fats, and oils continue to account for the lion's share of Russian agricultural exports in value terms... This commodity group accounts for over 50%”

One source explicitly states that grains accounted for 87% of the total value of deliveries to Africa in 2024, and Wikipedia confirms grain as a traditional mainstay of export income, supporting the claim that this group accounts for over 50% of the total value.
