MOSCOW- Russia's economy ministry supports a proposal by the agriculture ministry to limit Russian grain exports to 7 million tonnes in April-June, it said on Monday.

The government has yet to approve the proposal, made by the agriculture ministry on Friday.

"We agreed on such a draft resolution on March 27. As part of our work against the coronavirus," the ministry said in a reply to a Reuters' request.
