Russian grain is once again moving by rail to Armenia along a route that had been closed for decades. The latest freight train departed from Baku on 9 March carrying hundreds of tonnes of grain.
The train consisted of seven wagons carrying a total of 488 tonnes of grain.
To date, more than 21,000 tonnes of grain have been transported from Russia to Armenia in transit through Azerbaijani territory. This volume has been delivered to its destination in a total of 302 wagons.
In addition, 610 tonnes of fertiliser have been transported along the same route in nine wagons.
The previous shipment, on 4 February, consisted of eight wagons carrying 560 tonnes of Russian grain to Armenia via Azerbaijani territory.
After leaving Azerbaijan, the train will cross into Georgia through the Boyuk Kasik station before continuing onward to Armenia.
The move follows Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s decision in October 2025 to lift transit restrictions on cargo destined for Armenia, which had been in place during the period of Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani territories. Since then, both direct and transit rail shipments along the route have operated smoothly.
