Russia's agriculture ministry said it held a meeting on Friday with grain exporters to discuss export volumes.
Traders, including some who were at the meeting, said the ministry will consider curbing 2018/19 exports once they reach 30 million tonnes.
This reportedly follows a request from meat producing regions, but the ministry added no decision had been made about how this might be implemented.
The ministry, however, said it did not discuss curbs on grain exports at the meeting.
"Working questions about export volumes were discussed at the meeting," it said in an official comment.
