Commodity information company Kpler has reported that the upward trend in Russia’s oil exports to China continued in the previous month.

According to this report, Russia delivered an average of 1.6 million barrels of oil per day to China in August, which is 50% more than in May.

Earlier, Kpler had told VOA that Iran’s oil exports also fell from about 1.36 million barrels per month in May to 520,000 barrels per month in August.

There is no data on oil exports from Arab countries in the region to China in the past month, but China’s latest customs figures show that the total daily oil imports into this country from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, and Oman in July rose to more than 2.7 million barrels, 40% higher than in May.
