“Russia increased corn exports 2.2-fold... from the beginning of 2026 through May 10 compared to the same period last year”
DISPUTED
The claim states corn exports increased 2.2-fold. However, two independent sources (Interfax and Izvestia) provide different figures: Interfax reports a 1.7-fold increase in Q1 2026, and Izvestia reports a 1.6-fold increase for the period July 2025 to April 2026. The specific figure of 2.2-fold is directly contradicted by these reports.
